Custom 3D Printed Button Guard for 2023 Prius (EV/HOLD/Traction Area)

Yay! Your cover looks great for casual presses. Our problem is our small dogs stomping on the buttons. It’s a constant issue with them turning off and on the anti-skid, etc. Our more serious problem is that we can’t lock them out from opening the electric windows from the driver door and jumping out if we need to keep the AC running for them when we’re out of the car on a trip. I’m so glad to see this. We have a printer so a 3D pattern would be wonderful.

 

If you have dogs that roll down windows, jump out and take off, you've got bigger problems than 3d printed button guards

 

heres the link. It works quite well. You really have to push it. The lip on it really makes it hard to press unintentionally.

I hyperdipped my emblem and it was fairly easy to do instead of 3D printing a new one. No problem with durability after +- 1 year.

@priusasa What 3D scanner are you using? the models look great. I might actually try printing your button cover as I've hit them once or twice by accident.

 

Great work!
I have an idea for you. My Prius doesn't have a wireless charging pocket (looks like yours doesn't as well), and I use a MagSafe AC vent holder. I was thinking of designing something that converts the phone pocket to a sunglasses holder. That space is like a weird Trapezoid (18x1.9x3.5 cm). I noticed a small gap in the trim between the textured and piano black parts, and I was able to fit one of my thickness test sheets (probably 0.5 mm).
I don't have the LIDAR camera, and I'm also away on a long trip. So, couldn't work on this.

 

This is absolutely of value to me! Years of driving a stick keep my hand on the shifter. I casually turn off traction control and charging all the time. I'm trying to break old habits, but this looks really good.
