NC1 Miata Deep Center pocket

UPDATE: I have since gotten a new enclosed printer (Bambu P2S) and was able to print this in ABS. It looks even better than in the pictures and turned out excellent. This is a deep center pocket to replace that useless one right in front of the shifter on your NC1 Miata. The NC1 miata is the model years from 2006-2008. This model is built to optimize all of the possible space that can be used. Filament:I found that even multiple types of PETG would warp in direct sunlight, and so have since switched to the new Polymaker™ HT-PLA-GF. This comes out with a great matte surface finish, has held up against direct Colorado sun for hours, looks great, and printed easily first try. Be sure to do the annealing process, I just put mine into an oven at 60 degrees C for 6 hours which is what Polymaker instructs you to do. Polymaker™ HT-PLA-GF Design:This took many trials and errors to find the right curve of the center console, but in the end I am happy with the fit and finish in my car. It does not move around at all and fits perfectly, even with no clips. There are essentially 4 versions, a version with a USB cutout that I used to extend my Android Headunit ports to, and a version without that cutout. There are also 2 versions that are shallower with and without the USB cutout that must be used on automatic NC1 Miatas, as there is not as much clearance to deepen that space. I cannot confirm fitment on automatic cars, as I have not had the opportunity to test on one. If you print this and test it on an automatic car, I would love a comment with feedback! There is also the option to have a shallow center divider in the bottom of the hole for both the USB version and the one without. I added this because I found when I put my phone into it (my phone is just about all I use it for), it would move around and then lean in the way of my shifter. This is the link to the USB extension I used, they are standard sizes however and you could find many like it on Amazon and Ebay. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDWVFZKH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Printing:You should use the 0.08mm print height, as this minimizes the visible layer lines.The fuzzy skin settings match the car texture quite well, and I have had people say they didn't even realize that it wasn't stock. I have experimented with angling the model different ways to maximize strength, printing time, and layer lines. It must be printed at an angle, either with the long edge along the build plate, or one of the short ends. If you print at around a 45 degree angle, it minimizes layer lines and ensure the fuzzy skin texture is everywhere it needs to be. To do notes:I need to update the print files so that they use the new paint-on fuzzy skin feature.Update print profiles to be using the PLA HT GF. Feedback:Please leave a comment with feedback about how to make this description better, optimizing the print settings, and if the automatic car version works!Boost MeThis took a lot of trial and error, and I would really appreciate a boost if you had a good print from this!
