So I've got a list of QOL improvements I'd like to design and test but I'd be interested to hear what you guys might like.

1qt oil bottle and 1qt coolant holder (I currently use the Velcro bags, but something described goes just for the frunk that’s not Velcro would be nice) I have some ideas on mounting points.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Recently I purchased a prosumer grade 3D printer called Babu Labs X1 Carbon. This thing is legit! So now I obviously have to integrate it into my shop and channel. So I've got a list of QOL improvements I'd like to design and test but I'd be interested to hear what you guys might like. Here are some ideas:
USBC adapters
Dashcam/backup camera integration
Radar detector integration
What's on your list?
Affordable strengthened headlight washer covers.
Affordable rear seat delete covers.
Replacement parts for over engineered cup holder

I‘ll post more soon. I have a few more ideas.
Someone in the UK had made a Magsafe compatible cubby. Bascially, the magsafe clicpped into the cubby and sat flush, Then you just throw your phone in the cubby and it snaps into place and recharges at the same time.
this has been a game changer. Phone sits at perfect height an angle.

Can you share a link or a photo? This would be awesome
For "Quality of Life" upgrades, as much noise silencing as possible. My dash area (and a lot of the other seats/cabin pieces) squeak / creak constantly. It does go away with more driving thankfully. The constant creaks and road noise bug the **** out of me. I dont think there is anything that can be done with a 3d printer though!
Edit:
Is this it? I found the other thread just couldnt get the quote link to work yet.
These are all GREAT and thank you. So here's my take.
Phone holder: Yaz has a gerat one and I use it in both of my cars. I can't really modify perfection.
Cup Holder: Now this is an intertswting one as I'm actually designing a repalcement cover. The mechanism itself is pretty sturdy (I've proven that with 2 LARGE Whataburger drinks recently). So a cover re-design is possible but a long term goal.
Rear seat delete parts: YES this! I need more information on this
@TexSquirrel
Center console wireless charger: This right here is a good "low hanging fruit design" I'm also thinking of incorporating USB-C ports too and hard-wire them.
@TheChunkNorris
give me more detail on those. I've got the caps for the Cabriolet ports but I'm unfamiliar with the threaded one.
Let's keep these ideas going! Turbos too!
The two caps for the lock down holes for the hard top on the convertible, in Metropol Blue for me, but other colors as needed. Hard to find and at $45 each, ridiculously expensive. The center console MagSafe charger sounds interesting.
Thanks ! Here is the part number - Porsche - 996-555-457-00-G10
Last time I bought them they were $45, now they are "on sale" for $65. I'm sure folks could easy see picking up a spare or two for $20 something.
I would like parts to fix the existing cup holder. I remember seeing someone printed some parts a few years ago, but I don't know if that person is still around or how to get them.
So which part is broken exactly? It breaks in a couple of ways. I'm working on a faceplate but it's not really working out so far. Sometimes, things just need to be injection molded to look good. I might pivot and design a full replacement. But that is above my CAD skills at the moment. I can print the cupholder design that's has a creative commons license that attaches to the side of the center console. I didn't really like that it requires you to drill into the leather/vinyl side. So a replacement panel will need to be designed. I love this 💩
What about an ashtray insert replacement eight 2 USB connections.
Then those of us with aftermarket radios with two USB connections could make them at the ashtray instead of having wires running from devices into the center console
I bet there are not many smokers left in the 996 crowd.
I was going to suggest a GT3 style console delete because the Porsche one is now almost $1k and Rennline is almost $600 but I see what looks like a 3D printed one on ebay for $300. Still, another option at a good price wouldn't hurt.
I just had my windshield tinted and the shop strongly discouraged me from sticking my dashcam into the windshield. I'd be all in for a dashcam mount that would attach to the back of the rear view mirror and something for the rear camera as well.
DAYM! They must have tried to fit a Big Gulp in there. I put two LARGE Whataburger drinks w/o issue.
This is item number 241 to fail on the cup holder. 🤣
So i've got a fellow owner that is going to help me design a bumper aero mod to direct slightly more air into the 996.1 gen front radiators.
GT3 CC delete (high priority)
Cup holder (already a creative commons license out there for one. I need to redesign the mounting to be less invasive)
USB-C console mod to an open DIN.
This is GREAT! Keep them coming. Oh and I'm adding more stuff every day. More decorative now to help fund these projects. yogisgaragetx.com
