Mazda Mx-5 Stock Radio Front Plate modified for Yatour Bluetooth Adapter

thingiverse

This modification to the Mazda Mx-5 Stock Radio front plate hosts a Yatour Bluetooth and Digital Audio adapter. A remixed version of the Yatour car support made by mento was used, keeping the front opening intact, which proved challenging for me to design independently. The front plate itself was designed from scratch, taking into account the need for high-temperature resistance that builds up on the dashboard. A large raft was employed when printing the first prototype to ensure the piece adhered properly to the print bed. However, hairspray played a crucial role in the final version, significantly improving adhesion and minimizing warping issues. Despite some warping occurring during the printing process, it surprisingly contributed to achieving a convexity similar to that of the original item.
