2011 Ford F350 Console bumper

thingiverse

I've got a 2011 F350 Super Duty with bucket seats and a massive center console. When I bought the truck, one of the bumpers for the console lid was missing. Ford doesn't sell just the bumpers, and I'm not going to shell out $580 for a new console lid with the bumpers. So I made this custom solution, installed it, and everything's good - no more annoying lid rattle. I printed this part in TPU with 3 walls and 3 top and bottom layers, using 30% infill, a layer height of .15mm, and a cooling fan set to on. I used Simplify3D to print it ball side down with supports. If it fails and I need to reprint, I'd do it with about 5% infill and 2 layers top and bottom and sides. It's not as squishy as I'd like, but it's also about .7mm thicker than the original part, so if you're replacing one of the rear bumpers, be sure to trim about .5-.75mm off the ball end with a razor knife. Being thicker makes it close a bit harder, but as long as it stops the rattle, it's okay in my book. I'd love to hear from anyone who tries making this and finds success or has any ideas for improvement. As always, I've uploaded the original Sketchup file if you want to modify it and make it even better.
