Armrest Compartment Shelf With Pen Holder
2015 Ford Focus
Description
The flexible center console shelf on my '15 Ford Focus was just too shallow and I also liked to keep a pen easily accessible. I created a deeper shelf that could replace the factory one and also placed a shaft in one corner to keep a pen in but one that wouldn't lie flat and take up too much space. I kept them modular so of one piece broke then only that one element would need to be reprinted. It also made printing without any supports or odd angles much easier. The base of the pen shaft is pretty tight and a press fit should do but I super glued it as well since I originally printed in PLA and I'm thinking it might not hold up to summer heats (might need to go with PETG). Update: Added v7 of the Center Console pen shaft to replace the v5 pen shaft and base stls. This is not open at the bottom and should be able to print without supports.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
