3DPrintedCarPartDescription
This mounts a radar unit in a pre-autopilot Tesla Model S (2013) for use with OpenPilot. I'm using a radar unit salvaged from a newer Tesla. For hardware and software details, see https://tinkla.us/index.php/Tesla_Bosch_Radar Use at your own risk! This is plastic, and plastic can break. Use 100% infill. Prints in 2 pieces: a bracket (black in my photo) and a peg (green in my photo). Both need supports. I actually printed the peg in the orientation shown so that the barbs would be sharp, but the reverse orientation might be ok too. The top of the peg has a 1.3 degree slope, so I used the Prusa Slicer 'height ranges' option to print very thin layers there. Epoxy the peg to the back of the bracket. Place the radar in the bracket. The peg clips into an empty socket in the metal behind the nose cone, driver's side. See pics. Use a high temperature filament (ABS, PETG) since you don't want this to melt in hot weather. You can power the radar from the frunk fuse box. Here's a modified fuse box lid to make this easier.
