Description

Update:
1. Changes to top hook to improve stability.
2. Platform angled down slightly.
3. Pad printed with TPU added. Attached to base with double face tape.
4. Printed with Polymaker HT-PLA-GF Filament to eliminate warping in hot vehicle.



My daily driver is a 2021 Ford Ranger. When driving long distances, I tend to rest my elbow on the top of the door panel. This is a poor ergonomic position as it raises my arm almost to the level of my shoulder. The auxiliary armrest supports the elbow while lowering and bringing the arm in to a comfortable position.

The armrest hooks over the door panel. Two 1"x1" Velcro tabs keep the armrest from being accidentally dislodged.

UPDATE: This past weekend we took the first long trip, 400 miles, with the armrest. The drive was far more comfortable that past trips. I wish I had thought of this 36,000 miles ago.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$28.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$29.00General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$32.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$31.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.

PA-CF$42.50Filled 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.
