Tesla Model 3 Console Armrest Cubby Cover

thingiverse

This is a custom cover/sliding door designed for the upper cavity on a Tesla Model 3 console arm rest hinged top. It transforms an awkward storage space into a discreet compartment. I opted to create this solution instead of purchasing a commercial product, simply because I wanted to see if it was possible to make one myself. This project is not a copycat design; rather, it's my take on how to accomplish something similar in a more personalized way. The process of creating this cover/sliding door is straightforward and uncomplicated. The printed parts consist of four flat pieces and two simple side pieces that require (6) M3 x 10-ish screws for installation, along with some 3M Command double-sided tape strips. Edit: I've added slide and door STLs that are sized to accommodate vinyl wrap on the surface. The initial photos now showcase the wrapped versions, which look significantly better. I used Vvivid matte black vinyl (available on Amazon) to match the console plastic's color and texture: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9JAS80/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You may notice that the cover sits slightly proud at the bottom and recessed at the top. This is because I didn't realize until installation that the cavity is deeper at the top. While it's something I might revisit in the future, it works perfectly as it is, so I'm not prioritizing a redesign right now.
