Description
This is a replacement dummy switch with a pass-through cutout sized for the Cobb AccessPort's OBDII cable. It definitely fits the 2022+ VB WRX but may also fit other models. I never liked the idea of using the dash-top vent mount for the AP with the hot summers my car sees, so I designed this after I got the suggestion from a friend.
I'd recommend printing it up at an angle with supports similar to the pic I've attached at 0.1-mm layer height. This way the layer lines go diagonally across the part and minimize aberrations in the final part. While the main pic shows the dummy plug in red, this was a near-final prototype and I ended up reprinting it in black to blend in better. Figured this was a better thumbnail photo as it highlights the plug, but I am actually running the photo next to it where I printed the plug out of black filament.
I've also uploaded the STEP versions of this model and one without the cutout so if you need a starting point to modify for another purpose, you have it. The fit is not meant to be snug. You can technically wiggle it the slightest bit but I don't think it will be an issue for this cable pass-through use. It doesn't rattle or anything like that. Hope you enjoy it!
