I printed two of these this winter and man have they prevented a lot of swearing washing cars this summer.

Anyone into 3D printing?

Here is one of my most recent prints. I didn't like any of the phone holders out on the market so I invented my own. I want to make a few adjustments to the angle it holds the phone and it does replace a vent but I'm not using those anyway...
I did break it on accident trying to pry the support off, but luckily I had already decided that the magnet will hold in place.
Here is a cool print in PLA I did for @mbryson a while ago. Some sun and a few months later this is what it looks like. Really shows how important choosing the right material for the job is. If you ask me this is a really cool "failure". I've decided to try my hand at PETG and so far I quite like it. Not has heat resistant at ABS but definitely more than PLA.

Have you printed any ASA? I have been interested in trying it. Petg doesn't print as clean as pla for me on my super baller ender with no enclosure 🤣
I’ve printed a few rolls of ASA. I recommend a brim and PVB gluestick. No cooling fan and print slower and avoid drafts. All the ASA I’ve printed has turned out with quite a matte finish, but can withstand car interior temperatures.
Resin prints are also non-thermic; so they won’t melt, which is great for high-temp applications; but also means you can’t use heatset thread inserts, but you can superglue them in.

I have not, I'll have to try it tho. I did notice that PETG is a lot more stringy than PLA.

I’ve had good luck with ASA…using the tricks Chance mentions above.
