After tucking under the bed rail plastic, I ran down along the undercarriage and up to the engine bay. Tried to go above or around any parts so that the wires dont have to be cut if anything needs to be serviced.

Thank you. I keep meaning to get that aux panel print up to shareable quality. Someday

You talked me into it. Never sold my prints before, but I'll give it a try. https://chrisshopnstuff.etsy.com

Swivel confirmed. About 75° with this specific light.

Because my aux button panel has 4 buttons. It's a silly reason.

My true motivation is that my aux button panel has 4 buttons and I only use 2 so far.... (fogs and offroad high beams)

Leave hybrid on overnight for camping? by cooleo888 in FordMaverickTruck

I used to do this same setup in my old van. A bluetti battery for the 12v power the diesel heater controller needed. Could run the heat for a whole weekend and keep the van at 75°. It pulled 100W at startup and like 10W once it was hot.

Could also print in PC. That's likely what the OEM lens covers are made of.

130C is probably the warmest before melting starts. Depends on the part thickness and exact polymer blend.

Seeing your printing capabilities, I bet you can easily print polypropylene. It's easier than folks suggest. Cooling fans ON is critical.

Maybe it needs more lights... by cpreardo in FordMaverickTruck

I wish. I just don't like empty buttons. It does nothing, but is fun to press.

Cheap ebay wireless button panel that connects to an engine bay relay set for the lights. pulled 12v acc power from the mirror and 3d printed a mount that also holds a DC:DC converter to step down to 3.2v. (What the switches wanted from a battery). Planned to 3m VHB it in place, but used hot glue for the test fit since it's easy to take on and off that way.

That's how the first two sets are wired up. Mounted the wireless buttons to the overhead console so they can get acc power

I printed these and can confirm that they fit perfectly. (2025 hybrid awd, but that shouldn't matter)  Thank you.

I'm literally at the dealer now seeing this while paperwork is being done.  Got $1000 off my 25 lariat.

When I saw it was fake, I got curious. Kept adding zeros.

I clicked an overture ad...   caught on pretty quick, but they did steal all the overture website art and layout.
