Great original model - but I wanted to remix slightly to open up use-cases to wider application. The idea of a clear back to utilize the light in the console is brilliant - but I typically don't use PLA for automotive applications or where temperatures can be very high. Clear PETG is great but I typically don't like the final (glossy) appearance - so ASA is usually my go-to for car parts. Since there's no clear ASA, I remixed this model by:

  • Making slots in the rear of the tray - this would allow printing without use of clear filament at all. Light from console would simply shine through the slots. I've also filleted the slots to help with strength.
  • I provided a back cover that can be printed in clear PETG. This cover can then be superglued to the rear of the tray but act as a diffuser. This way light can still come through to the tray but you cannot see through the slots.
  • Finally, I also made the tray 10mm longer - I felt the original was a little short compared to other trays I've seen/used
