Armrest
2011 Kia Picanto
Description
**Armrest for 2011 Kia Picanto / Morning** I designed and 3D printed an armrest for comfort and storage to my car (a 2011 Kia Picanto / Kia Morning). It fits well between the seats and mounts perfectly in the cup holder, without modifications to the car. The armrest has a hinged top lid for easy access to the storage compartment, with 5mm neodimium magnets to keep the lid closed, avoiding "plastic bump noises". I printed in PLA on my Creality K1C, but PETG or ASA is recommended for higher heat resistance in vehicles. **Print configs (for PLA):** - Printer: Creality K1C - Slicer: CrealityPrint - Profile: 0.2mm Standard @Creality K1C 0.4 nozzle (Generic PLA) - Infill: 15% in 45º square grids - Temperature: 230ºC - Layer height: 0.2mm - Wall loops: 2 - Supports are only needed for the Box (The Lid and the Cup don't require any support): - Type: Tree Auto ("Normal" would exceed the maximum print size) - On build plate only: true - Small overhang area: 20 mm (no need for support on hinge holes) **Other materials needed** - 10 M3x25mm screws (+10 nuts and 20 washers) - 8 to join the cup to the box - 2 for the lid hinge - 2 cilindrical neodimium magnets (h = 3mm, Φ = 5mm) **Filament Cost** | Part Name | Weight (g) | Length (m) | Time (hh:mm) | |:-----------------|------------------:|----------------:|---------------------------:| | Cup | 76 | 25.5 | 01:42 | | Box | 707 | 237.2 | 13:49 | | Lid | 98 | 32.9 | 1:48 | | **Total** | **881** | **295.6** | **17:19** |
