FITS Adapter that just fits

[Redbaron]

I noticed many of you are requesting the cad file for just the fits slot. I’ve seen some that don’t really work well and are poorly designed. I made one that is 95% to a perfect fit.
It’s fits snuggly into the slot behind the rear console, the other slots under the seats are a tad different surprisingly and you will need to adjust your geometry accordingly.
This is a perfect adapter if you wish to add designs on to.
I am making a plug that sits flush with rest of the back of center console.
I also made some parts that secure on to the rectangular holes below the seats.
I will post more when I have time to finish them up.

NOTE: Do not use PLA if you plan on keeping parts in the truck as it will deform when it’s hot outside.

Slot for CAD work as pictured above:

Here is the Flush Mount Plug as seen a few posts down

Here is a screw based latching mechanism that can be used to secure something to the 2 holes below the rear seats.

Thanks. It looks like you can slip this over a plastic grocery bag and use it as a garbage bag. Awesome. It also looks like a perfect starter project to try on my local library's 3D printer (with helpful technician available.)

Here is the FITS plug that I’ve seen people asking for! Will be on my thingiverse

My intention of this piece was that you can create other parts from with some cad work. If you want a trash bag holder I suggest adding some small hooks or sliding mechanism that clamps onto the bag. It wouldn’t be ideal to just use this piece IMO you gotta get creative. I can design something for you really quick and post it and you can modify it as you see fit.

I kind of like the idea of just using that piece as a plug since the FITS slot looks a bit incomplete when it's empty.

Print it in XLT orange

Looks Great! Can you share the CAD?

Thank you for posting the design !!! Do you have a Thingiverse link for the screw based latching mechanism ? Both of of the Thingiverse links go to the same thing.

yeah I’ll post that soon. I made some updates to it so once I print that I’ll post.
also they should be different links. One is a flush mount plug and the other is the base geometry for the FITS Slot. Very similar but not the same

The STL file is on Thingiverse, but not the CAD. Also, on Thingyverse choosing the 'Download All' gives an Error 404, but just the 'Download' button will get the STL file.

You can modify .STL files using any CAD software. Some software like solidworks can even auto recognize features. Do you want a step file? Like not sure what your looking for. I use solidworks and many people don’t so not sure what a .sldprt file would do for you

also weird issue with thingiverse not sure that’s could be fixed on my end

I use Solidworks also, the SLDPRT file would be much appreciated.
