Single Din Pocket Plus Custom Files

I've uploaded a simple pocket design in addition to what you see pictured. This is without the slots for the voltmeter and the switch. I've also attached the Fusion 360 file for you to modify if you need. I'm not sure what holes this will fit, but it fits in my 2000 Tacoma, and my understanding is that the holes are relatively universal.

If you are curious about what the rest of my project was read further down.

Most important is to not print this in PLA. PLA has a glass temp that is too low for use inside of vehicles. I chose to use PETG as it prints easily and has a high enough glass temp. ABS would also work well. Pick your material carefully.

I've had this in mind for a project for a while and couldn't find anything that fit my needs. I wanted two LCD Voltmeters for the two batteries I have in my truck. This also required a "Double Pole Single Throw" switch to have the voltmeters run to each batter seperately, yet only need one switch to turn on both.

The voltemeters I used: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BZPH6KQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ran this with 20% support, last 3 layers of support was 40%.

I printed face up (pretty side ends last) with 6 layers on top to insure complete fill on final layers.

The Single Din with only the pocket does not need support and should print fine without it.
