Cybertruck Rear Emergency Door Release

The mechanical emergency door release on the cybertruck is hidden under a rubber insert in the door pocket.  This makes it very unlikely to be found should an accident render the electronics unresponsive which could be deadly.

This model replaces the rubber insert with a clearly labeled pull handle.

Use 0.2mm layer height.  If printing with the text in place, I recommend loading the text filament into a lower numbered extruder so that will get printed first.  Otherwise it may not show up clearly.

Update:  Added a newer version which:

1. Combined the text into a single volume.  This makes Glow-In-The-Dark Filament show up better (although, TBH, it doesn't really charge well with the in-door pocket light so I find plain white filament easier to read).

2. Added explicit left and right versions of everything so you don't have to mirror anything in the slicer.

3. Removed the text from the base so you can print the base without text if you wish

To print:

1. Place the base (left or right) in your slicer

2. Add the associated text to it (Right Click --> Add Item --> Load).

3. Change the extruder of the base and text as desired but the text filament should be in an extruder with a lower number.  This will make the slicer print the text first, before the surrounding base for better readability.

4. If using glow-in-the-dark filament, I recommend changing the infill (for the text only) to 40% for maximum glow.  You can go higher but I found 40% to be just as bright as 100%.

Pull is printed similarly.

Make sure your pull is printed with something strong like PETG or PCTG with at least 30% triangular infill.  I also recommend setting perimeters to 3.

There is an accommodation in the pull for a square nut and a M3X25 hex bolt to help strengthen it across the layer lines.

NOTE:  The mechanical emergency release bypasses the child-lock feature.  Un-hiding it could be good or bad depending on your situation so be aware and give it some thought.

The gcode I provided uses Black PETG in extruder5, Orange PETG in extruder3, and Glow-In-The-Dark PLA in Extruder4.

Instructions for V0 (older version with minimal text volume and more complicated configuration):

To print the driver side:

1. print the base_left.  If you have a multi-color printer, add text_left and assign the desired extruder/color

2. print the pull_left. If you have a multi-color printer, add arrow_left and assign the desired extruder/color

To print the passenger side:

1. print the base_right.  If you have a multi-color printer, add base_text_right and assign the desired extruder/color. Then mirror before compiling gcode

2. print the pull_left. If you have a multi-color printer, add pull_arrow_left and assign the desired extruder/color. Then mirror before compiling gcode
