I can definitely get you some stuff 3d printed what where you looking for

I just bought one last week. So far I’ve made a dryer handle and a coaster lol

We have a printer at work. I've got a test plate for the dash cubby pending.

Check your local library, many have them available

I have a printer but haven't done anything in some time. All I ever worked in was PLA and I worry about how it would handle being in a hot vehicle over time. This morning, I reverse engineered a FITS attachment that I think I might end up using to make a resin prototype with some sort of universal attachment plate for screws probably so anyone can mount anything they want to a generic resin FITS attachment. Then pretty much anything you can make or buy can be married to the FITS system.

I have one but have yet to check out thingiverse for maverick stuff...I will check it out...what are you thinking would be nice to have for the mav???

Somebody already has you beat with the reverse engineered FITS receptacle

Thanks, i need that for later actually.

Heres the stuff I found i would possibly want on the thingiverse.

PLA will melt in a car unless you're in a cold climate. Use PETG. A coworker put one of my red "Covid mask ear savers" in his Corvette's A/C vent b/c it looked like one of those "pull to eject" jet handles as a joke. Melted. (Somehow Corvette is okay, it pulled right off and didn't leave a stain.)

This is why I'm thinking about making any fittings I want out of things I know from experience will get it done. I probably won't gin up PETG just for this. I know I can knock out fittings in resin or PVC or even wood or aluminum easily.

PETG doesn't really take much more to print than PLA other than going a bit slower and some particularly gummy filaments are fussy about infill pattern. It prints hotter (235-ish is common) but that's not enough you need to go all-metal hotend.

So far I've printed up 6.5" speaker mounts designed after the Metra ones.

What kind of printers are the best to use

Would you be interested in 3D printing some stuff out for me? Gladly pay you for your time and materials.
