Toyota Celica (1994-1999) USB Plate

thingiverse

This is a custom plate designed to replace one of the blanking plates situated near the cigar lighter in a 1994-1999 Toyota Celica (gen 6). I discovered that my cigarette-to-USB adapter caused the gear stick leads to become tangled, prompting me to seek an alternative solution. I didn't want to compromise the existing blanking plates, which could be removed if needed. To address this issue, I purchased a 12V dual USB adapter (available on Amazon) but found its provided fascia plate unsuitable due to its bulkiness and loose fit. To create a better solution, I measured up the existing plate, including the retaining clips, and printed it out. Unfortunately, the small pins on the side of the 12V adapter didn't fit properly within the print. To resolve this issue, I applied a small amount of silicone adhesive to secure the USB sockets in place. This is my first attempt at creating a custom 3D part, so some minor imperfections are expected. The design isn't overly complex and should be compatible with most settings and materials.
