This weekend I worked on a 3d printed grill upper block (us Mirage owners like to call it the mail slot). Its really a sweet little mod. There are three pieces that clip into the vertical supports on the upper grill. It installs in less than 30 seconds. I printed a few different colors just to try it out.

Printed a small test piece to see how the clip worked. First time it worked (that virtually never happens).





First version in EcoModder green!





Doesn't follow the opening profile perfectly, but not bad.







A few tweaks, and a few different colors.
