Had some fun this weekend, it's been a hot minute since I've had time to print anything.
Since my H8 battery upgrade, I've been lazy with a mounting solution for the fuse box on top. I pretty much have just had it taped on there. With the recent addition of the fuse/relay box, I really didn't like it just sitting there with tape.

Enter the most simple print.

All didn't go well at first. I set everything up and then went to the gym. I've had prints run 72 hours with no problems....this one though...think it's salvageable?



I forgot to put the glue stick down on the bed, which is pretty critical for the material that I was working with. The base print popped off and the nozzle basically just drug it around

Ok so I tried again. Different material though since I didn't really need to use the expensive stuff.

The feet ride in the slots, and there's a stop in the front so it can't slide out. As it goes though, something went a little off and my print lifted from the table ever so slightly (warped) so it changed the rest of the print dimensions:



I added some velcro strips to the bottom for adhesion to the battery:



Final result:



It works nicely. I've got V2 on the printer now, it'll be a bit easier to install and hopefully the print is a bit more uniform. I really had to jam the fuse box in there, so I might actually need to cut it off so V2 can be installed.

@J_dude has it.
Kerma CCV puck.
Also, what you can see is the wiring for one of my ballasts. But all my wiring is protected by similar sheaths.

Nice!
Those braided lines running around the battery... are you using them to carry wiring, or is that some custom vacuum setup?
I think a guided tour of your engine bay is something we'd all be interested in. :D
Nothing super special with my engine bay I wish it was more "adventurous". Pretty stock except for the relay box and a couple of other 3d printed goodies.

At first glance I thought this thread was about a cover for the stock relay box, with provision for a lift pump relay in the blank spot. Then I read the title again and realized my mistake 😂

I already made a printed cover for that box:

Aha!
You know, I think I did see that one before. Now if I'd been paying attention... 🤣
