Battery tray in my NB Miata was all smashed up and the battery was sliding and bumping around. Mazda no longer makes an OEM replacement so I designed a model in OnsShape based off the original tray. Split into two interlocking parts.
I was able to get them to click into place and super glued the pieces together with additional strips of gorilla tape on the bottom at the joints to ensure a solid connection. Was going to use epoxy but my tube was dried out.
Printed in PLA+ from Elegoo on a Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro, .2mm layer height, 3 walls, 15% gyroid infill, and with supports. Added a brim to ensure stability and enlarged the bases of the tree supports as I had an initial failure when the nozzle knocked one support over right before laying the bridge.
I also designed a version with a tiny bit more clearances on the interconnecting dovetails if you are worried about fitment. The original files are snug but worked for me.
