Material plan

PETG / ASA

Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.

Starting setup

25% infill

A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.

Final totals

Confirm in slicer

Slice the selected model with your final material, orientation, walls, and supports.

Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

Description

I wanted to install a switch in a Tesla Model 3 and found this little cover plate under the monitor. It hold the interior temperature sensor. Rather than cutting a hole in the OEM part, I 3D printed a new cover with a hole for a switch built into it. The OEM cover has a slight bend to it, so I also included a mold that you can use. I used PLA for the cover (Tesla has “Cabin Overheat Protection” that makes PLA reasonable here), and PETG for the mold, so that my heat-gun would melt the PLA before the PETG. You can see a video showing how it's used here:.
