Hey Guys, Ill be throwing this pint up on here soon, I think it will be ready by mid week.

Basically its a " com-station" for the upper tray thing on the first gen raptors, I tried to make the space as functional as possible.

Here is the prototyping thus far. Final print soon, with files. I tried to print it in ABS (the black and silver print), and the need to tune my settings I am may change the final profile to PETG or even just PLA because its so robust, I did a PLA as a test and it ended up pretty good. I think it will hold up in the heat of the truck cab.

Design overview:

Bluetooth GPS receiver for phone and cooling fan mounts, 3 fans in total, one on the back and two on top. also the front and back are open for more airflow to the radio heat sinks.
