Tesla Model 3 Console Armrest Cubby Cover

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a cover/sliding door for the upper cavity on the console arm rest hinged top on a Tesla Model 3. It turns a somewhat strange and not very useful cavity in the arm rest into an unobtrusive storage area.
There is a commercial product that performs the same function but I figured I could easily make one. This is not a copy, just my take on how to do something similar.
This project is very simple. Printed parts are 4 flat pieces and two uncomplicated side pieces. All you need to install are (6) M3 x 10-ish screws and some 3M Command double-sided tape strips.
Edit 1/8/2020: Added slide and door stl's sized for putting vinyl wrap on the surface. First pictures now show the vinyl wrapped versions. It looks much better. Wrap is Vvivid matte black:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9JAS80/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This wrap comes close to matching the color and texture of the console plastic.
You might notice that the cover sits proud at the bottom and recessed at the top. I did not see that the cavity is deeper at the top until installing the frames. I might redo this and taper the frame depth so the slides sit uniformly at the surface. But for now it looks great and works so not a priority.
