Kydex Console tray

[Livinthedream]

You know the stuff they make gun holsters with , well I made a console tray with it. I watched a couple of Youtube videos (actually only 2 videos of making a tray). I ordered a 12 inch sheet from Amazon for $15. With the help of my toaster oven I heated per instructions ( also used my heat gun to form also). The sheet thickness I used 0.80 which was a little hard to work with but they make 0.60. You have to wear leather gloves because to be workable it has to be really hot.

Are the corners left open? I like the kydex idea better than the printed ones I’ve seen.

That's a good idea and glad you posted it. I hadn't thought of making a tray from kydex.

I looked at the 3d printed one that someone posted a week or so ago because my local library has 3d printers you can use for free with just a nominal cost for materials.

The problem was that print time was limited to 10 hours and I think the tray design was a 13 hour print.

I have some kydex sheets from previous projects so I am going to give this a try when my Maverick finally gets here.

On this one they are, given this was my first try at making one. It wasn't fitting just right so I had to cut the corners and trim to fit. I think I can use a soldering iron with the flat blade and close off the corners.

I saw they have a Door Handle Storage tray also. How does this shape work? Does it go in the bottom?
