BMW i3 Armrest Storage Tray (Replaces Snap-in Adapter)
Description
Transform the wasted space in your BMW i3! This custom-designed storage tray replaces the bulky, outdated phone snap-in adapter found in the center armrest, converting it into a deep, functional storage bin.
I designed this tray to maximize every cubic centimeter of available space, providing a perfect spot for your daily essentials like keys, wallet, sunglasses, or charging cables. It fits seamlessly into the existing mounting mechanism, giving your interior a cleaner and more practical look.
Why this design?
Maximized Volume: Engineered to utilize the full depth and shape of the armrest cavity.
Print-Oriented Design: No supports needed! The model is optimized for FDM 3D printing, ensuring a clean finish with minimal effort.
Perfect Fit: Specifically designed for the BMW i3 center console to ensure it stays securely in place.
Clean Aesthetic: Maintains the premium feel of the BMW interior while adding modern utility.
Printing Recommendations
Supports: None required.
Material: PETG or ABS/ASA are recommended for better heat resistance (especially if your car is parked in the sun). PLA may deform in high summer temperatures inside a vehicle.
Infill: 30% or more
Perimeters/Walls: 2 or more walls/perimeters are recommended to ensure durability.
The 'i3' logo is compatible with multi-material printing; you can easily assign a different color using the 'Smart Fill' feature in your slicer.
Installation
Simply remove the factory snap-in adapter and drop this tray into the cavity. It is designed to sit flush and provide a stable storage surface.
Happy printing, and I hope this makes your daily commute in your i3 just a little bit more organized! If you like this model, please consider leaving a "make" with a photo—I’d love to see it in your car.
