This small model is meant for the Prius V (also known as the Prius Alpha, or Prius Plus). I designed this to be inserted into the plastic shifter pattern to prevent the shifter from entering B-mode. It is very easily removable if needed, but stays in place nicely otherwise with a light friction fit.
The inspiration for this idea came from a family member unfamiliar with the car who was inadvertently using B-mode instead of the regular Drive mode. I figured this would be an easy solution to the problem, especially given that I never use B-mode.
The model was designed for a LHD (left hand drive) vehicle, but I suspect it will also fit a RHD model. If you successfully fit it to a RHD Prius please let me know!
If you find the print is a hair too small or too big please adjust the scale up or down one or two percent. It should fit easily with just a little resistance (enough so it doesn't't rattle while driving). Do not force it in, just print another one! Printing at 100% infill is under 5g of filament.
Print standing up with the large face down. I printed at 100% infill with petg at .15mm layers and it came out great.
