That looks awesome! I have been playing with the idea of adding in aux switches on my truck and this is definitely the least invasive method I have seen thus far! Would you consider sharing the file?

Yes, I'll share it tomorrow. I want to make some changes, but will upload both when I get a chance.

Here is a link to the STL files: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6058081
Made some improvements to what I have currently installed. I recommend v3 of the mount.

for those of us who dont have a 3d printer, what would you charge to have one printed and shipped? Swarfworks makes one for the AuxBeam panel, but it takes away your sunglass holder and its a overpriced for what it really is

Nice job. Definitely a nice alternative to the OEM upfitter switches. I saw this grab handle aux switch setup for Jeeps and wondered if something like this is available for our trucks.

Thanks!
I like that, hmmm got me thinking now if I could model/3d print a replacement grab handle.

I would recommend you look at your local library, they have printer times you can use (maker space). My life is too hectic to print for folks. I would not be able to meet commits.

i actually had no clue you could use them at the library! thanks for the input!

My pleasure. I need to reprint mine with a more temperature resilient material (PETG instead of PLA). When I get around to it I'll let you know, I can make a couple of extras and send them out. I do not mind giving them away, just don't want to sell them

Will this work without sun roof?

Not the way this is made. I would have to see a non-sunroof setup. I would think you can sneak magnets behind the headliner and attach that way.
