Any thoughts to add a flip cover or reduced opening over the diff lock? It looks like the button is already slightly recessed a bit which is nice too.
Also, can't wait for the fog lights! I am going to place a big order once those are ready for a few different things.

Buckeye Donuts! Glad to see they are still around. Lived in Cbus for almost 8 years and have many fond memories of there and DK Diner.
And beautiful work as always — planning to order some cupholders soon and then I’m sure many things more things after that.

They have been open 24 hours even during the pandemic. They are always my go to place for coffee, snacks and lunches. Unfortunately some jackass pointed a gun and asked for cash a couple weeks ago. Guess what, the shop did not miss a day serving the community. I always like this kind of small family owned dining places.
Ben you’ve probabilities mentioned this but what printers are you running now?
also what’s your @ on Instagram?

That’s wild, but great for the shop that they’ve kept going! Good to know you’ve got a proper source of fuel for all your 3D printing.

Updating on the Hazard/DiffLock swap panel:
This is the goal which is to mount my phone or tablet closer to the driver and reloate the Hazard/Difflock to the passenger side.
1: This is the front view. I wanted to recess the switches deeper. But the facotry panel does not allow it. Still they protrude less than the original configuration by about 1mm.
2: Three factory holes are used to fix the printed panel.
3: The circuit of the switches is pined down by the printed feature and fixed by the bolt. The micro switches are actually on the circuit board.
4: I had a concern that the circuit board would interfere with factory parts behind the console. Fortunately it went in with some clearance.
Need to complete the wiring.
The Japanese words on the circuit board say “blue” lol.

I did this swap on my Right Hand-drive 105LC and it worked out great. I was fortunate enough to be able swap my RH Aussie switch panel for a LH USA switch panel and just extend the wiring. The functionality of having the phone closer is great and it is not that often that you need to reach for the hazard or 4WD buttons. I haven't yet needed to have either of the switches recessed or covered, but I would guess that you do not want your passenger pressing the 4WD button at 100kph (65 mph).
"EZFix of door switch panel" are these still available? I'd Like to order 2 please
Ben, any update on the LX version of the fog light mounts?
You might consider adding a slightly raised edge around the perimeter of the Diff Lock switch. It would prevent an accidental bump from a knee, without going overboard having a cover. Probably only needs to be a couple mm in height and width around the cutout.
Hey Ben,
Any updates on the LX/LC overhead DVD player removal block off plate/overhead light plate?
Thanks!

@BenCC If you were in the market for a 3D printer again, what would you go for? I've been eyeing an Ender 5 plus or a Ender 3 max as my first.
Gotcha, I thought somebody was sending you one. No worries!
