A little more room

They say “necessity is the mother of invention,” right? I was just tired of my ass hurting. My wallet and buttocks were fighting the seat bolster for room. Pair that with dual remotes on a keyring and even my relaxed fit jeans felt tight.

Emptying my pockets helped, but then I had a key fob, a gate remote, and loose change to put somewhere. Simply tossing them in any available cubby pained me. I could already hear them sliding around and picture the scuffs they’d leave on the plastic over time.

So I got into Tinkercad and began designing them a home from my perspective. The first few designs fit one thing but squeezed out another. Unlike Honda’s other offerings, the Civic Type R and Integra Type S both share the same awkward armrest. Making something that appeared OEM and fit the shapes and contours was challenging. It was my first attempt at designing anything CAD-related.

Five revisions and a few trips to the 3D printer later, everything finally had its place. Including my left cheek.
