Bed-drain grating for full-sized Dodge Ram pickup

thingiverse

This is a custom drain grate designed for the bed drains of a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck. When parked on an incline and obstructed by acorns from pin oak trees or leaves, the rainwater collects in the bed. Despite water overflowing once the truck is driven up a hill, evidence of frequent water dumping onto the street remains visible from the lingering stains. I'm convinced this design will fit my 2004 Dodge Ram model as well as other years. Innovative designs along similar lines are currently in development for my powerboat and can be accessed on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:448673 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:444685. Instructions A 90-degree rotation of the .STL file is required to place it flat on its longest side, the back side. I found no need for supports during printing. However, note that this SCAD file incorporates a combination of metric and SAE measurements due to personal preference, although it successfully accommodates my truck and avoids making changes that could disrupt performance.
