What 3D Printed Parts/Accessories Have You Installed??
Just installed and ARP and wanted a little more protection since it was so close to the grill. Printed in ABS and a laser cut acrylic glued on the front. Velcro in place for easy removal.

I started off with Sketchup and several other free/open-source 3D cad programs. Once I tried Fusion 360 making things became so much easier it seems so I've continued using it after the trial period ended by selecting their free extended hobby use offering.

I use Tinkercad for most of my designs right now. I am trying to learn Fusion360.

I've read about problems with sketchup (that slicers can have problems with its designs) so I avoided it. I've been using DesignSpark Mechanical.
Autodesk Fusion360 was going to be my first choice, but the fact that it is cloud based scared me off. It looks like it has some kind of offline mode, but I think it needs more investigation for this full time RVer. I don't need more auto-updating tools to burn up my cell plan!

Have a CS3920 and just got M3D printer ($200!) Looking forward to using it to customize the coach.
I saw the cover for the slider switch that reminded you to check on the drivers seat position before putting out the slider - think I'll get moving on making one!
I'll put it up on Thingverse when I'm done - here's my profile there.

Followed you there Charlie!

My wife was getting frustrated with the store bought sink plugs that did not fit well or came loose with the slightest bump. So I made this one for the kitchen sink and a slightly smaller one for the bathtub. She is happy with the performance. Actually took me several tries to find the right size. I bought an O-ring kit from Harbor Freight that had several sizes to try to find the right fit. Now pots, pans, glasses or utensils moving around the bottom do not loosen the plug and cause the water to drain prematurely

Very cool idea's here !!!! Not to say I could figure that stuff out,,, but very cool !!! Never thought about a parking brake lock,, as a trucker, it takes some force to push in the knob to release the brakes,,, BUT with young kids around,, it would be a good idea !!

Here is a zero cost and easy way to "lock" the parking brake. As a school bus driver, we are required to perform this procedure whenever we exit the bus. Simply pump the service brake pedal until the low tank pressure "pops" the parking brake knob "up". Then, if the knob is accidentally pushed in, it will not stay in the release position.

That does the trick... But, I'm sure the truckers appreciate the fact I don't have to pump my tanks empty, and then wait to air up again...when they're in line behind me at Flying J.

Agreed, however it should take less than 2 minutes for the pressure to build enough to release the parking brake.

Great idea! You could market that!
