Cranked out an under-seat molle panel that can be 3D printed. If you decide to make one, you need a minimum of 300x300mm bed printer. make it out of high-temp filament (ABS/ASA/Nylon/PA-12, etc) and use 100% infill.

Is it as strong as steel? No, but it is stronger than anything I'm bolting to it.

I'm six feet and everything clears with plenty of room to spare. My wife, who is 5'0", has her seat position saved, and everything still clears when I move the seat to there.

If you'd sell how much for one
I'm happy to make them for those who can't 3D print themselves. $25 for the 3D printed parts. You'll need to pick up your own nuts and bolts at Ace.

Very nice. Did you just remove the paddle from the back of the holster and mount it directly to your 3D printed panel?
Also: what's it like to draw from the holster? How much interference does the front of the seat cause?

The paddle is held on with two screws (M6 I think, but I can't remember for sure). I simply removed the paddle and used the screw holes to bolt the 3D printed panel.

I don't "draw" from the seat, I'm not getting into shootouts from my truck. This is simply to hold it securely while I'm on long drives. It's much better than just throwing it in the cupholder, and not nearly as hard to access as console storage (plus it doesn't take up any console space). I'm six foot and there are no obstructions at all with my seat position.

For the slots in the panel you designed, are they spaced at what worked for your holster, or are they some "standard" spacing?

Haha, poor choice of words on my part, but "holster" and "unholster" just didn't seem right either. But no issues getting it in or out of the holster when the seat is in a more forward position like where us short people might have it?

Tye slots are generic spacing I took from a bullet point dash mount.

no issues getting it out with the seat up since I angled the holster.
