3D Printed Tailgate Hole Caps

[RichardCranium]

If anyone was wondering, it was MTC member @JB9 that designed this cover.

For those of you thinking I disappeared. These are almost ready to start shipping. I have been trying to determine a good price with shipping via the Postal Service.
I am trying to keep the total cost at $10 or less.

Although I have some test units out in the wild I have been waiting for My DFW Maverick Truck Club Meet to get first hand opinions. The meet is this Saturday 11/04.

Here is the product I will have available. I do not own the file so forgive me for not making it available, but I do have permission to print them.

I am interested! How do we purchase?

Take the file to office Depot or FedEx or a lot of print service providers.

Local libraries will do it for you, too.

I like this idea. Makes me wonder why the spaces are there to begin with?

Most likely to air out moisture and condensate but could allow robot access to install electric tailgate lock or something else, maybe allowing robot to to hold tailgate in position during installation. Maybe a cartel member hacked the design software file?

I'm still interested as well!

My guess is that it has something to do with the backup camera and lock. I have a coworker with an F150 with a backup camera with the hole and a different coworker with an F150 without the camera with no hole. 1 model year difference between the trucks.
Just guessing here.

Oversized holes for wiring. Plus if debris does get into the tailgate it has a better chance of exiting a large hole.

I don't think the covers are necessary, but my brother printed a set out for me last night and is dropping them off today.

Pictures incoming.

Keep posting the 3D printed related stuff. I definitely appreciate it. I have black, "clear" and purple PETG filament for my Sovol SV06. I'm always looking for things I can make myself.

Ya know what would be great is someone to print a storage box that fits in the cubby behind the bottle holder. A spring loaded cubby box would be great to stash your wallet and stuff in when you go to the beach and no one could see it. I was thnking of making one out of sheet metal to keep my pistol in when I am travelng but I carry a S&W Python which is a bit big for that unless it is really thin metal. A skeletonized frame though would be good with a spring latch ?? Just brainstorming here sorry.

What cubby were you referring to? There are many on the truck. Do you mean the one on the door?

Me too with my son, and I even have a tailgate gap cover in the truck, lmao

Nice receiver cover, fellow Ohioan.

Where abouts in the SE? I kick around Union Furnace a bit in the summertime.
