Default Phone holder and interior paint

I got really tired of not having a place for my phone in my 98 so I designed a replacement ash tray that can hold two regular phones (even if one has a pop socket) or one monster phone diagonally.

Sorry that my phone decided it wasn't going to focus very well.





And on top of that I found a spray paint that matches the 98-00's charcoal paint pretty well. It is Rustoleum metallic oil rubbed bronze and it even has sparkles like the factory paint, although a little more.



I was going to try to print them and sell them but the printing cost is too high on the machines I have access to, so instead here's a link to the STEP file if any of you all want it. It should work on any UCF20, I think. The file is in inches in case STEP doesn't retain that info (but I think it does).

Wow that is awesome - if I had access to a 3D printer I would be all over this.

My phone currently perfectly fits in the ashtray, but metal on glass is not really that great so I don't like doing it.

Yeah that's what inspired this. I kept wanting to put it in the ashtray but got squicked out seeing my screen against the metal.

Is it AWD or RWD?. RWD seem rarer.

The print cost was over $100 per part and I didn't think I could sell it anywhere near that much :|

Wow, I never realised #D Printing was SOOOooooo expensive! Well done anyway, I guess I'll stick with my vent mount magnetic base.

There are cheaper methods, I was just using what I have access to. I'd guess someone with their own home printer might be able to print it for $20-30? It would just need more finishing I think.

But yeah, in general it's not cheap.
