Description
This replaces the original fabric mesh and the inner pocket panel.
This is not a straight swap, as it is wider than the original so does require modification of the original interiror door panel,
however, if enough people comment requesting for a direct swap version (original pocket size replacement) , I will produce the design.
(or you can just chop some width out, I wouldn't reduce x-scale)
There design includes the option to relocate the boot / fuel flap switch inside this pocket area,
but, if you do not wish to have the boot / fuel flap switch relocation, just mirror the Passenger side pocket
Door is designed to fit either passenger and driver side
The "Pocket" files are for Right Hand Drive Cars (RHD), so mirror in your slicer for LHD
STLs are full size parts - you may need to split to suit you printer size
3MF files are for Bambu PS1 and include a "midpoint" dovetail join
Recommend printing in ABS filament with 100% infill (solid)
For jointing /gluing I used:
Acetone (Automotive paint thinner) as a "glue" at the "mid point" join for the door
Hot staples generally everywere else.
Hot (soldering) iron to smoothout and fill joins of original car door panel
Other parts required:
304 Stainless Steel Rod: 2 x ( 2.2mm diam x 500 long)
Neodymium Iron Boron Magnets: 4 x (10mm diam x 8mm thick) - or more depending on closing strength required

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
