Screenside Dash Cubby Dimensions?

[GreenLady]

So what is everybody using that cubby for? I put some business cards in there but would like to figure out something more practical.

I want to make a little coin tray for in there as well. I got a cardboard template cut that seems to be the right size. Modeling a flat plate in TinkerCAD now, will have it printed at work on Wednesday. If its accurate, I'll try to update this thread then.

Problem seems to be it tapers on both sides at different degrees. My current template only tapers on one side - Hoping that's enough to get a tight fit. Whoever drew the dimensions for this thing at Ford is a dick.

I am thinking about stacking flash drives in there: L 2" x W 5/8" x H 3/8". Your coin tray idea may hold them in. I will be standing by to place my order!

If the objective is putting thumb drives in there, people print USB blocks all the time. Its just a piece of plastic with USB port sized holes in them.

It would be trivial to add those to a plate like this.

The trick will be keeping it from sliding. I'm hopping to do this with support beams that will wedge into the top of the cubby and a tab that will engage with the tiny screw hole at the bottom of the cubby.

Perfect, thank you.

Any updates? So far I have seen a Kleenex Holder and Phone Mount in the cubby. I would prefer a drawer or door as described above.

I don't have my Maverick yet, but I did design and print a prototype coin drawer that is 57w x 24h x 70d (millimeters) using Tinkercad. I wanted to get this halfway right before I build something to take up the entire cuppy. I can provide the STL files if you wish or I can post to thingiverse. Did anyone else get this far yet? Am I on the right track?

I think that you could make the drawer(s) taller. See example: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...rick-2022-compatible-cubby-storage-box.12439/

Enlightenment?

You may be right, but I'm hoping someone else may have plans similar to mine.

I'll take my caliper to it after work

Thanks, I've already made a drawer.

Pictures!
I have a 3D printer maybe the plan would be a good trade ?

This isn't 3D printable.
