This is a plain cover plate with a little “pip” in the center of it to center a drill for an odd-sized hole. This part is designed to be easy to print "right-side up"
Print this at 100% infill so you have something to drill into.
If you need a single hole that is approximately 1 and 1/8th inches, (common size for 12v sockets), try THIS option.
We recommend printing this in something temperature stable, like PETG or ABS. It’s possible that a material like HT-PLA (or even normal PLA) will work after being annealed in an oven, but beware that those materials do shrink some, and you may need to scale the model to compensate. Unannealed PLA will start to soften and warp well below the temperatures that you could expect to see inside a hot car, for instance.
Besides being relatively temperature stable and UV stable, PETG also takes machining relatively well - sanding, cutting, etc. The only thing it won’t take is paint - so print it in the color you’re comfortable with.
