Switch-Pros SP9100 F150 Overhead Console Mount and individual Mesh insert piece - Panel bracket/cradle

I have had the swith-pros panel since 2018 but never had a good mount for it. Originally I had it just screwed directly into the end mesh piece of my 2018 f150 overhead console. The mesh insert has become warped and now that i have a 3d printer, an upgrade was in order.

This is my first ever creation using Fusion 360 so please keep that in mind as I am sure I will improve upon this version as I learn more.

I have also included the mount in the individual mesh insert piece and the panel cradle as well.

The Tolerances of this are very tight for the mesh insert piece and the shell that holds the panel. I designed the cradle around the panel to not interfere with the new front cover that comes with these panels.  

*** note*** Version one of the panel that doesn't have indents for the front cover is slightly smaller in size than version two. Testing both, the one in my truck fit but had no resistances. Version two, that I just got last week, would go into the mount, and you had to use force to remove it even without the bolts.

There are hole pass-throughs for the mounting holes of the panel. I added #6 -32 screw holes 2mm deep on the back of the mesh panel. 

In the first version of this, I missed enabling “modeled” for the screw holes on the back, so they did not print correctly. I have corrected that and uploaded v2 of the combined and mesh insert replacement Total Newb Mistake

I included a picture that shows a headless 3mm bolt screwed into the back of the insert panel. While the panel fits very snugly into the overhead console, the holes are there on the back so that you can put a headless screw with a nut or small bolt/screw on the back of the panel through the holes of the overhead console just in case you want to make sure it is secured and will not pop out. This is more than enough since a major force will not be applied outward. I might revise and add a version for brass inserts.   I had to snip the middle brace so the wire harness did not collide. 

For printing, I had mine oriented with the long backing that goes into the console down on the plate with the opening of the switch panel facing up. In this orientation, I did turn on minimal snug supports for the overhangs of the panel cradle. You can play around to where you don't need support.  This was just the first go at it.

I had all defaults on my X1C in Bambu slicer. .2 layer height, .4 nozzle, wall loops 3, top/bottom shell 4,  15% infill.  Supports were on normal - Snug, Support/object xy distance .4, allowing the supports to fall away.  I printed on a wham-bam plate with the recommended heat settings from wham-bam.

Since this will be in a vehicle, you should use PETG. I printed mine in Bambu Labs PETG-CF.
