Top cubby hole - Anyone found a use for it?

[BuzzT6]

I have a wireless charging module hidden underneath (with switches to turn on/off and to turn the LED I mounted on/off). Chuck phone in and it charges

I like this idea!

I used to keep my phone up there till it fell out onto my handbrake one time

I feel like you need to provide photos as proof of this awesomeness. This is the best idea I have heard about for the cubby hole. Am inspired. Cable route and power supply info/photos would be good too. Good job @phazer

I wonder if you have a link for the 3D printing? - I could not fine one that fitted...... Thanks

Afternoon. The thread is locked, so no more trays for anyone. But, for the record, I've made barely any profit and it will be a relief not to have to watch a machine for 11 hours a day while it prints one, in case the nozzle blocks or the prints unsticks from the bed etc.
I was doing it for the good of the cause and there's generally one scrap for every good one, given all that can go wrong whilst printing.
I've designed different types on request, and not charged, I've advised on how others can do them and I've even sent my design to people to print them themselves.

I'll upload the...

I run a leisure battery (under driver's seat) so it runs off that, cable route follows the existing wiring up there along the top of the windscreen and then down the b pillar under the passenger seat to where I have all of the fuses (re-purposed the OEM fuse block). The charger itself I bought bare from Alixpress, it has an onboard LED but took a punt that a couple of the pads on the board were for an external LED...they are so I could run a remote one. Pics below show it mounted and the switches,LED etc I have a full cab blackout hence black plastic

That's pretty amazing.

CD's - until they fell out
Parking disc - until it fell out
Tried jamming CD's in with parking disc - pull one disc out, and they all fell out.
Phone - you know what happened!

Gave up - wet wipes, tissues and a pair of uncased, cheap sunglasses prodded in by their arms. Nothing has fallen out since.

I like the Bose idea tho....

Love the charger ...but I'd reckon maybe adding a lip to the front of the pocket

Just thinking the same about the lip.
Have a spare offcut of "sounds like a golf" seal with would be perfect

The phone is too big so sticks out and too much to add anything that wouldn't look crap. There is already a lip on the cubby but you'd need to cut the back and extend it to get the phone to sit in and be held by the lip. With some patience and plastic welding it could be done but this is fine for me, it was only really for when parked up.

Thank you, I printed it off and it way to small and not the right shape. Worth a try none the less, guess Bose speaker stays where it is for now.

Is it this one? Seems a few T6s had a different hole.

Finally got around to playing with a design for this and produced a prototype. It's not a perfect fit, the gap seems to taper slightly as it goes in, but it does fit and is useable. I will come back to it one day and try and refine it a bit more.
I don't have time to print these in bulk and I don't think there'd be much demand for them anyway as most people seem to have the Highline cubby, but the STL file is attached below for anyone who wants to print it themselves.

It's in black filament @Wayne7450 so would need sanding/priming/painting but if you want the prototype gratis, pm me...

Just printing it now, will come back later with update. Thank you.

Update: Printed off really well and fits tight. Not sure to be honest I like it or the bose in place. Time will tell.

Added a knob for easy remove it.

The back printed a bit granny, but you never see it.

Looks fine I think, better than a enpty hole.......

"sounds like a golf" seal

Is this the stuff ppl push down between the dash and windscreen? Read it a while ago but can't find it

 

[JumpShip]

Needs a much more subtle handle , the knob looks daft.

No it's the Thq door seals

 

[JumpShip]

We used a length of 'sounds like a golf' door seal down between the dash and windscreen, does the job nicely

I am new here and I will happy to make a tray to fit in ABS for FREE (yes free !) to the first person to give me the sizes/dimensions. I am happy to give it a go, will add elastomer tray insert/cover so reducing rattles coins etc. Feel to drop me a message here

Maybe a hole rather than a knob?
