#1: EG Civic 2-DIN Radio Brackets
The most requested Honda 3D print of all time. The EG Civic (1992-1995) came with a bizarre radio setup that's impossible to upgrade without custom brackets. The OEM parts are long discontinued, and aftermarket options either don't fit or cost a fortune.
Why This Part Matters
- OEM Discontinued: Honda stopped making these decades ago
- Universal Kits Don't Fit: EG dash geometry is unique
- Complete Solution: Upper bracket, lower bracket, and trim plate available
- Community Verified: Hundreds of successful installs documented
Recommended Material: ABS or ASA for heat resistance (dashboard temperatures can exceed 70°C in summer)
Where to Find: Thingiverse and Printables both have multiple versions. Search "EG Civic 2DIN" for the best options.
#2: CRX/Civic Arm Rest with Cup Holder
The 1988-1991 CRX and EF Civic are legendary sports cars with one major oversight: no cup holders. The center console area is perfect for a custom arm rest with integrated cup holder—and the 3D printing community has delivered multiple excellent designs.
| Option | OEM (NOS) | Aftermarket | 3D Printed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $150-300+ | $80-150 | $15-30 |
| Availability | Nearly impossible | Limited | Always available |
| Customization | None | Limited colors | Any color/design |
Recommended Material: PETG for good strength and easier printing than ABS. Black PETG matches most interiors perfectly.
#3: S2000 Center Console Puzzle Piece Trim
The Honda S2000 has a notoriously fragile center console "puzzle piece"—the small trim panel between the shift boot and radio. When these crack (and they always do), finding OEM replacements is expensive and getting harder every year.
⚠️ Print Orientation Matters
This part experiences significant stress from gear changes. Print with layer lines running perpendicular to the longest dimension for maximum strength. Consider using ASA or Nylon for the best durability.
Community Tip: The AP2 version is slightly different from AP1. Make sure you download the correct file for your year.
#4: Civic/Accord HVAC Vent Replacements
Nothing ruins a nice interior faster than broken vent louvers or cracked vent bezels. Honda's vent plastics become brittle with age and UV exposure, especially on older Civics and Accords.
Common Vent Parts Available
- Louver assemblies: The directional fins that break most often
- Vent bezels: The trim ring around the vent opening
- Damper wheels: The dial that opens/closes airflow
- Ducting adapters: For custom HVAC routing
Recommended Material: ASA is the champion here—excellent UV resistance and heat tolerance up to 95°C. Black ASA is virtually indistinguishable from OEM plastics.
#5: EG Heated Mirror Retrofit Kit
This is a clever mod that shows what's possible with 3D printing: retrofitting heated mirrors from JDM models onto USDM EG Civics. The custom brackets make this swap possible without permanent modification.
The retrofit kit includes:
- Mirror housing adapter brackets
- Wiring pass-through grommets
- Switch mounting plates
- Complete installation documentation
Recommended Material: ABS or ASA for exterior application. Must withstand rain, UV, and temperature extremes.
#6: Ridgeline Cubby Tray/Drawer System
The Honda Ridgeline has cavernous storage spaces, but they're not always organized efficiently. The 3D printing community has created ingenious drawer systems that transform the front cubby into a proper organizer.
| Feature | OEM | 3D Printed |
|---|---|---|
| Drawer slides | N/A | ✅ Included |
| Dividers | None | ✅ Customizable |
| Wireless charger mount | N/A | ✅ Optional |
| Cost | N/A | ~$10-20 material |
Recommended Material: PETG for good strength without the fumes of ABS. Black or gray matches the Ridgeline interior well.
#7: Civic Type R Shift Knob Adapter
The 10th generation Civic Type R (FK8) has a unique shift knob threading that isn't compatible with standard aftermarket knobs. A simple 3D printed adapter solves this problem for under $5 in material.
✅ Thread Specifications
- FK8 OEM: M10x1.5
- Standard Aftermarket: M10x1.25, M12x1.25
- Adapter converts: M10x1.5 to M10x1.25 or M12x1.25
Recommended Material: Nylon (PA6 or PA12) for durability under constant use. PETG works for lighter use.
#8: Honda Fit/Jazz Center Armrest Extension
The Honda Fit is a packaging miracle, but the center armrest is often positioned too far back for comfortable use. 3D printed extensions bring the armrest forward where your elbow actually rests.
Available designs include:
- Simple height risers (add 1-2 inches)
- Forward extension brackets (move armrest 2-3 inches forward)
- Complete replacement tops with integrated phone holders
- Storage compartment add-ons
Recommended Material: PETG or ABS. These parts need to handle body weight leaning on them.
#9: Accord/Civic Gauge Pod Mounts
For Honda enthusiasts running boost, oil pressure, or other aftermarket gauges, mounting them cleanly is always a challenge. 3D printed gauge pods integrate seamlessly with Honda interiors.
| Mount Type | Best For | Gauge Sizes |
|---|---|---|
| A-pillar mount | Track cars, clean look | 52mm, 60mm |
| Vent mount | Reversible, daily drivers | 52mm |
| Steering column pod | Multiple gauges | 52mm triple |
| Dash top mount | Data logging displays | Custom sizes |
Recommended Material: ABS or ASA for heat resistance near gauges and dashboard.
#10: Phone Mount Brackets (All Models)
Every Honda owner needs a phone mount, but generic ones look cheap and often block vents or controls. Model-specific 3D printed mounts integrate with your Honda's interior design.
Popular Honda Phone Mount Locations
- Civic 10th Gen: CD slot mount, vent clip, dash top
- Accord 9th/10th Gen: Cup holder mount, center console
- CR-V: Wireless charging tray, vent mount
- Fit/Jazz: A-pillar mount, custom dash pocket
- S2000: Center console integration
Recommended Material: PETG for most interiors. Add TPU grip pads for phone retention.
#11: Fuse Box Covers & Under-Hood Brackets
Missing or broken fuse box covers are surprisingly common in older Hondas. While not glamorous, these functional parts keep dirt and debris out of your electrical system.
⛔ Material Warning
NEVER use PLA for under-hood parts! Engine bay temperatures can exceed 100°C. Use ASA (HDT 95-100°C) or PA-CF (HDT 150°C+) for any part that lives under the hood.
Common under-hood prints include:
- Main fuse box cover replacements
- Relay holder clips
- Coolant reservoir brackets
- Hood prop clip replacements
- Wiring harness guides
#12: OBD2 Port Covers & Trim Pieces
The finishing touches matter. OBD2 port covers, small trim pieces, and clip replacements might seem minor, but they're often the parts that are most annoying when missing or broken.
| Part | OEM Price | 3D Print Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| OBD2 Port Cover | $15-25 | $0.50 | 97% |
| Trim Clips (10pk) | $10-20 | $1.00 | 90-95% |
| Door Panel Clips | $2-5 each | $0.10 | 95-98% |
| Glove Box Latch | $20-40 | $2.00 | 90-95% |
Recommended Material: PETG for most interior clips. Match your interior color or use black as universal.
Material Selection Quick Reference
Choosing the right material is crucial for Honda parts that last. Here's a quick reference based on part location:
