BMW - GS Adventure BOX USB 5v

I re-worked/designed this version of the GS Adventure Box for a co-worker. The changes to the lid and base are specific to his needs, but should be useful for anyone wanting to use this model or remix it for their needs. I was told that this will work on BMW R1200GS and GS Adventure up to 2013.

I will include the STEP file from my latest iteration and the CSV file with the values that were used in the design. Note, in the STEP file, the outer curve looked a little funky, so be careful if you try to import this into Prusa Slicer for printing.  You can import the CSV parameters file into Fusion 360 using Parameter I/O from the Autodesk App store.

This model was printed in PETG on a Prusa MK4 with IS enabled, 0.20mm Structural and perimeters set to 3 (mainly to support the threaded inserts). The lid was printed with the outer side facing the bed.

The lid was re-designed to fit the following parts:

• USB Charging PORT

• Nilight - NI -WA 06 LED Light Bar Wiring Harness Kit

CNC Kitchen's M3 VORON threaded inserts were used to attach the lid to the base:

• CNC Kitchen Official Threaded Inserts: M3 VORON SET 100pcs  via REPKORD

• M3 x 6mm screws were used to attach the lid to the base

A couple of helpful videos were referenced when creating this model:

• Teaching Tech's: Design like a pro with shadow lines - 3D design for 3D printing

• Learn It!: Parametric Box with Threaded Inserts - Lesson 11 Part 1 and Part 2

Note, the two larger holes on the base are the for the electronics wiring, while the smaller hole is for mounting the unit to the motorcycle. I posted some pictures my co-worker sent me showing the installation process. He did bend the contacts on the USB charger so the unit could be printed slightly shorter.  These pictures show how the unit was mounted to his motorcycle. You will see a seam between the lid and base. That is a shadow line and was created with the help of Teaching Tech's video above. 

I implemented a request from the "makes" to include a lid with only the USB cutout. I imported the lid STEP file into FreeCAD and removed the requested cutout and uploaded the STL. You can use the slicer's 'add negative volume' to add any cutout(s) needed.  I also included the modified lid STEP file so you can use your favorite CAD package to more precisely add cutout(s).
