Designing and 3D Printing The Perfect Car Part

- The ShagWagon isn't going anywhere 😎
Now what I've got my 3D printer enclosure set up, I'll be designing and drafting custom parts more often. In this video, I make an AC vent cover with a built in magnetic wireless charging puck. Pretty neat, pretty ratchet, pretty shagwagon, papa johns.
Hopefully you found this video, and 3D printed part, quality.

that's cool af, let me check those shagwagon episodes
be warned, their old and jank just like my car 😎
great video can't wait to watch it 50 times :)
The home depot theme song had me laughing
It's mind over no matter
No matter, disintegrates
Please stream today HQ. I cant live another day without your streams.
:(
Yeah you should stream today HQ
not the first time he's been inconvenienced by gum
🥲
Looks great, my dude, quality upgrade! Out of curiosity how well does that magnet hold your phone? You lose it on bumps at all?
Never once has it fallen off from a bump, it holds it super snug :)
Im in the video lets gooooooo
Can you please tell me what he's saying my headphones are dead
@@hopefullyquality Uh, iI you happen to be one of the 119
people who watch shagwagon episode 7
nearly a year ago you may remember this
I had the genius plan to super glue a
wireless charger to a piece of wood and
then super glue the piece of wood to my
car watch your back musk to be honest it
was one of my favorite sketchy mods I've
done to my car it kind of sort of
covered the gaping holes in my dashboard
left by missing AC Vents and being able
to slap my phone on the magnetic charger
was pretty convenient but after all this
time with varying temperatures from the
changing seasons as well as me blasting
it with hot and cold air the glue
finally failed after nearly a year being
much more mature than I was back then
and now having a 3D printer I decided to
go the more professional route and make
a more permanent solution I wanted to
design and print event cover that would
block anything from falling down the
gaping holes as well as hold my wireless
charging puck I started by taking some
measurements of what I had to work with
and began brainstorming the best way to
attach the part to my dashboard I also
grabbed the dimensions of the charging
puck I'll deal with the glue later armed
with some Dimensions that look like a
schizophrenics prison escape plan I got
to work drafting I like the idea of
using these existing slots as a way to
hold the part in place so I started
there and mocked up a rough idea of how
large the final part would be as I
prepared the print I realized I've never
designed or developed a product before
six hours is a long time to wait for a
rough draft and knowing my initial
Dimensions were most likely not going to
be a perfect fit I went back to drafting
I wanted to get a solid idea of how
close my Dimensions were for the
openings so I thought about saving some
plastic by cutting holes out but this
still seemed wasteful instead I decided
to perfect my integration with the two
slots and work from there much better
while it printed I pried off the
charging puck and cleaned off the old
glue being the I am I forgot to
plug in my laptop and it died causing
the printer to give up and leave me with
scrap or so I thought I used this piece
to see how close I was to the correct
height and went back and changed the
part to fit better and cut out some
holes to save some more plastic
my measurements were off and the pegs
were too big to fit in their holes so I
remade the part again and
I went to test the fit and I couldn't
get it to sit flush that's when I
realized the two slots have different
depths so I used the part I had to help
measure the depth of each hole and took
some more measurements and then used
those measurements to make the top Peg
shorter than the bottom one
this time it fit nice and snug but as I
was taking more measurements and
brainstorming disaster stroke
the gaping hole took its first victim
using my quick thinking I used a
micrometer to nice dude no matter using
my quick thinking I put gum on the end
of a metal rod you idiot
gum fell off there's gum and a
piece of 3D printed plastic in
my earbuds now
no matter using my quick thinking I
began disassembling my dashboard to get
a better angle I've done this so many
times I could do it with my eyes closed
and
I forgot to take out a screw and
ripped out all the threads no matter now
that I took my dashboard off I still
couldn't reach it luckily my girlfriend
and her bony little fingers were able to
grab it okay back to business since I
already took the dashboard off I figured
it'd be easier to just bring it inside
and work on the part with it off I took
this opportunity to clear away some of
the plastic I had left behind when I
first attached the phone holder I took
some more schizophrenic prison escape
plans and designed the parts now figure
out the perfect depth of it
nice and flush but I wanted to fill
these gaps since the hole I was filling
wasn't perfectly Square feeling
confident with my measurements I decided
now is a good time to print my first
full rough draft I cut out a hole for
the charger Puck to sit in as well as a
way to be able to plug it in without
being able to see the cable then I added
some vents to let the air from the AC
pass through and
looking pretty good so far the charger
Puck hole needed a bit of resizing but
that would be easy it was here I
realized my initial plan to only have it
mounted using the two slots just
wouldn't be sturdy enough I tried
tapering off the top and the bottom of
the part to make it perfectly flush but
since the top and bottom weren't on the
same plane I decided I'd rather have a
perfectly clean flat front rather than
perfect it by a couple millimeters so
instead I added these tapered edges to
make it blend in better I also tapered
the vents a bit to get rid of the sharp
edges I then added these two extrusions
to the side since drilling through the
vent and then bolting the part in place
seemed like a solid idea I also put a
hole on the center peg in case I wanted
to bolt it down there as well one
scuffed live stream later and
I decided to work on it during my break
at work and somehow I had made the
bottom Peg too long
not anymore then I tried my best to line
up my drill with the hole in the part
and
not my best idea I drilled through
roughly where I planned on the bolts
going I then changed my part one last
time to make the side pegs a little
thicker and also made the holes larger
so I had more wiggle room when fitting
the bolts through a little more tweaking
to the charger Puck hole and the hole
for the charging cable and finally I was
ready to play Zelda Shameless plugged my
Saturday live streams tune in if you
want to watch top-notch gaming with a 3D
print going on in the background six and
a half hours later it was done other
than some weird stringing issues under
the charger Puck which a little fire was
able to fix it was perfect the holes for
the bolts lined up perfectly without me
needing to drill any more holes and the
charger Puck fit nicely as well it was
time to install it in my car the sun was
setting and once my girlfriend used her
bony fingers to squeeze the charger
Cable in the back I slapped my dashboard
back together and it got too dark out to
film so here's the next day ta-da here
it is in its final form the vent holes
are covered the charging pad works great
and the bolts are holding everything so
securely that it feels like it was part
of the car originally it doesn't look
original too the car but it Blends in
well enough that I already hardly notice
it which is kind of the theme of this
car any first gen Honda Pilot owners
with gaping holes feel free to shoot me
an email if you're interested in me
filling them for you look forward to
more custom 3D prints I'm going to try
to create a couple things each month
with a video like this one to accompany
it as well as print progress during my
live streams attempting to better myself
at 3D Drafting and product development
in the process hopefully you found this
video quality and until next time take
care
Hey hq, can you drop the link to the micrometer you use? I need one
i think the one i have is expensive (from an old job) but if you went to any hardware store they'd have some for $30-40 and would be more than okay. Mine is "special" because it has much more fine tolerances.
Link is long and ugly, this is my model and is on Amazon, but again any digital micrometer would do what you needed in the real world:
