Description

My After Market Android Auto radio has 2 USB ports but my BMW E46 has no place to put them. So the unused space of the switch cover was a perfect candidate. The pictures here are the PLA test prints because I am waiting for the Black PETG to be delivered. PLA is not a good option for this print since the temperatures in the car can get really high in summer, so the advice is to print this in PETG or something even more heat resistant. This version was printed on a BambuLab P2S with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.24mm Standard using Bambu PLA Basic Fillament. I did use supports, on build plate only and support critical regions only.
