VW Beetle USB jack

thingiverse

I designed this USB connector holder for my 2014 Beetle to replace the stock AUX input jack that came with the car and hold a USB port from the upgraded head unit so I can plug in my cell phone for charging and CarPlay. It is a small part so no special printing issues. I believe I used PETG originally as I was worried about high temperature in the car but it is not very flexible so it can break when inserted in the dash. I would probably use PLA for a little bit of flexibility. I was experimenting with my printer so I used two colors and it did not come out as smooth as I wanted but it has held up just fine after 3 years so I am going to leave it alone.
