Vauxhall Zafira Armrest Bracket

thingiverse

I own a 2005 Vauxhall Opel Zafira, and as standard, it doesn't come with an armrest, which disappointed me. So I bought one from eBay. The first armrest I purchased from eBay came with metal plates that attach to the sides of the center console, and then the armrest mounts on top of the plates. However, using this one resulted in losing access to the space within this part of the console, most notably, the cup holder for my coffee. This was a fixed armrest. I decided to order a different armrest that can flip up and down. My new one arrived, but unfortunately, the mounting bracket was plastic, and it wasn't wide enough to fit over the sides of the console. So I returned to the drawing board. This design is just a quick and simple concept, mainly for fitting and mounting holes, and it's still a work in progress. Yes, it can definitely use a makeover, but it fits and works well. There is a little flexibility with the armrest and the very front near the gearstick, but nothing excessive. There shouldn't be much weight on this section anyway, so it's all good. When the armrest is down, it doesn't touch the handbrake. I printed it with high infill settings due to internal heat within the cab. I haven't experienced any deformation yet, but it's still April, and most days are chilly.
