DIY console button cover

[Cambug27046]

I see no screw heads. You can see a little edge of tape showing on the edge of the right hinge of the door!

I see it now , thanks for saying something about it showing . My eyes ain't what they used to be . I took a piece of aluminum flashing and cut it out a few inches larger than the console and with some bending and a wee bit of trimming it lays over the gear shift control and the 4 button contraption . In place it protects everything and gives me a flat place to place my camera for fast access - never know when you'll have to grab it . (takes a little thinking out the cuts and bends but it works for me . Also - forgot to add , used 2 micro fiber cloths to cover it top and bottom side to protect the console finish and give a rough surface for the camera so it don't slide .)

I tend to be somewhat OCD and would have glued the screws into the counter sinks clocking the slots all in the same directions as I always do usually in the direction as the length of the hinge and then grinding the threads off even with the backside of the hinge before taping the hinge on. But hey few people look at the hinges when they open the door.

Have any of the 3D printing people come up with a cover like this?

Hey, all!
I have a very active rat terrier and she has the annoying habit of stepping on console buttons. Tried to get ahold of my ex-BIL to 3D print something, but no reply. So, using a $1 piece of 1/16 plastic and the hinges from a $1.99 craft project, I built my own. No screws: 3M tape. Nothing fancy, but it works! Should be self-explanatory via the pics, but if you'd like, I'll post a step-by-step follow up.

(And the cupholder messages are for my grandsons. )

Did you have this 3d printed? I would pay for this cover.
