Update:
I've successfully printed the first version of the shelf which I'm comfortable publicly sharing. This version has a bunch of improvements over the last version:
(again, please ignore the finish as it's an artifact of my 3d printer, not the design)
I've published the STL file here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5420183
Other updates:
More soon, hopefully...
I've successfully printed the first version of the shelf which I'm comfortable publicly sharing. This version has a bunch of improvements over the last version:
- Significantly more robust legs that provide more consistent support to the plate and wont just snap off.
- Better ledges for the wireless charging pad that provide additional support for that as well.
- Two additional supports (the little domed areas) on the bottom of the plate to more structurally stable side to side. Before it would bow slightly if you pressed on the center front front and rear with the high sides being at the driver and passenger sides.
- Slight tweaking of the dimensions of the shelf to better just a bit better. The gaps were just a bit too big, IMHO, despite it not really causing an issue. There is still a bit of room there for it to shift around, which is desirable.
- Eliminated some printability issues with the STL file.

Other updates:
- Nothing new on bulk availability yet. I'm working through printability issues before getting a firm quote on producing some. Likely, I'll need to do 50 of these to be not ridiculously expensive.
- The pad and DC-DC converter are seemingly unavailable right now. I have a bead on where to get both in bulk - I'll need to import them, which might take a bit of time.
- I can source Posi-taps in quantity now, which is good.
- My additional pad and converter is now scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
More soon, hopefully...
