Ahh, figures it's an Apple thing. I'm an Android developer, and it figures Google isn't interested in adding lidar to their Pixels.

Boolean operations! I literally just taught myself how to do that in FreeCAD yesterday.

Hah, all good man, just teasin'

Yeah, its an Apple thing. Its also available on the Ipad pro models.

I personally do not enjoy Apple, but its the phone provided by work..... Cant complain about a free phone.

Speaking of Pixel, I need to upgrade my personal phone, the ole Galaxy Note 9. Tempted to go for that new 9 Pro Fold or the Samsung Fold 6.

I can score a deal through my provider to trade in the note 9 and get $1100 off the Fold 6... So I might go that route.

An alternative is the this small box with lid that fits in the PDC.

Hmm, interesting. When I went under the hood to see what size/rating fuses were there, I didn't notice that little spot.

Now you have me re-thinking my design. If I split the max fuses off the model and store them in the PDC, I can make it a lot thinner and take some height off too, and the mini fuses/puller will fit even better in that spot behind the glovebox.

I do like having the mini fuses in the cabin, if only to keep them closest to their use point.

Well got under the hood to look for this spot again and now I know why I missed it - my PDC has a different layout! Doesn't look like I have that space.

I made another thing. I've got an aftermarket Double DIN head unit, and the Metra 95-6549 Double DIN dash kit. The kit comes with two useless panels for where the ashtray went, so I used their panel as a template and designed my own so I could put the HDMI & USB-C inputs for the head unit there.

It works pretty well, though someday I might try and inset the panel similar to how the cigarette lighter panel is so I can get the connector inset and vertical. But for now, this works. STL attached.

I think I have a problem. Here's my 3rd model. Designed up a replacement for the early model courtesy lights under the dash (I guess they're the YJ/CJ style?). Some dude wanted $30 on ebay for his 3d printed set, not paying that. Took me a couple of hours to draw up. Just got to add the retainer bumps and it'll be perfect.

Nice! I would never have guessed that it would let that much light through.

White filaments are pretty cool, look up 3D printed Lithophanes.

The filament will allow light through if the source is close enough and bright enough.

@Mogul345 time to model the ole pentastar logo onto those caps so it gives you a puddle light in your floorboard :ROFLMAO:
