Hi everyone!
Is anyone handy with a 3D printer? I’ve lost one of the screws holding the tow electrics cover on, and am reminded how dumb that design is.
I’m thinking something with the same engaging part of course, but add a thumb grip (instead of the coin slot) and possibly even a way of holding the whole thing captive against the cover?
Or does this exist somewhere already?

You can get the STL file on Thingiverse to print them.
Question: Why is the design dumb? No thumb screw? To enable a thief to easily pinch it rather than using a ‘tool’?
The perfect tool to remove it is the key in the fob.

Perfect.
Right, now rather than spending $10 for 10 inferior designs on ebay, i'll wander down to Jaycar, spend a few hundred on a 3D printer, and make them for 'free' :-)
Thanks!

I have just got one. I’m in Perth. I was going to print up the thumb screw ones from Thingiverse to make it easier to open

I’m currently printing LR_Time’s new centre console insert which is deeper and more useful. It’s a little over engineered though I must say. I think you could drive the Land Rover over it and it wouldn’t break.

And a little Trinus for quick jobs.
The other way to make them “tool less” is some epoxy and a piece of plastic.
Glue a tab into the slot!
