300ZX 2 port USB Clock replacement and logo options

thingiverse

Based on comments, I have made some variations on the USB port design. You can choose a design with recessed logo, punched out logo, or no logo at all. Versions come pre-drilled to fit USB panel mounting, but you also get ones without pre-drilled holes if you prefer to drill your own mounting holes or use CA to hold the cable in place. The USB with panel mount is typically an extension USB cable that allows pass-through access to plug your phone or MP3 player into your aftermarket stereo, assuming it has that feature. Another option, used at your own risk, is a 12v to 5v step converter used just to provide power to your phone. Do your research and do not provide power back into your stereo through its USB cable. TIPS- I recommend printing with the face down to reduce printing supports (you will need supports for the side brackets). I printed this in PLA, at .2mm layer height with 100% infill. I used gloss black paint to finish it off after sanding. You may also drill a hole to accommodate an AUX input if you prefer. The screws used to mount the USB bracket should not be visible when mounted back into the bezel. To help with clearance, try and use screws with flat heads instead of rounded ones. On the version with the logo punched out, I might attempt to make a clear block to mount an LED behind the logo for a lighting effect later on. This was created in Fusion 360, and I have included the OBJ files in case you want to customize the design yourself. Just be sure to link the re-mix please.

Do your research to determine how best to step down and power your phone from a 12v source. The 12v to 5v step down converter example is 3A, so please make sure your device can handle 3A charging!
