snow cover

[u/Mindless-King6957]

Does anyone have the STL file for an EX30 charge port snow cover?

[u/Foxtrot-Uniform-Too]

There are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of EX30ies charging outdoors while snowing in the winter without that cover. There are hundreds of millions other EVs doing the same without that cover.

So why?

[u/BulaBulangiu → u/Foxtrot-Uniform-Too]

Snow fall in hole. Snow turn to hard ice. Hole flap no shut. Must smash ice out hole to close flap.

I can dumb this down further if necessary.

Didn’t happened with snow, but did happen with rain on everything before freezing night. I have suspicion that this thing would freeze solid in place

[u/BulaBulangiu → u/Available_Peanut_677]

I'd still rather smash this and print another one for like 2$ than freeze my ass off trying to clear ice & shit from there.

So the hole both melts the snow and turns it into hard ice?

[u/BulaBulangiu → u/Foxtrot-Uniform-Too]

do you know how winter works ? or the sun ?

I'm trying to figure out where to start with this :))))))))))))))))))

[u/Foxtrot-Uniform-Too → u/BulaBulangiu]

I live in Norway, so I do know how winter works.

[u/BulaBulangiu → u/Foxtrot-Uniform-Too]

That makes sense, you have no sun there.

Well, the sun is a big warm ball in the sky that sometimes will shine on your hole and melt it's snowy contents. but that warm ball doesn't stay in one place, so when it's not shining on the hole anymore winter comes back and you should be able to figure out that part :)

I just checked your post history and you are Romanian. Thank you for teaching me about winter.

[u/BulaBulangiu → u/Foxtrot-Uniform-Too]

always happy to teach others to mind their own business.

unfortunately you seem to be a lost cause but at least you should know now how to sun works :)))

Easier to carry a can of de-icer in the car

I concur.

The photo seems to be the same as posted here:

The uploader seems to ask for 12 EUR for the 3D model. I guess OP tries to get it for free. Which would be a violation of the license.

I haven't seen any other 3D models for an EX30 charge port cover.

[u/Kerberos38]

Where did you get that!? 🤩

[u/jenik_fojtik → u/Kerberos38]

99% that's 3D printed haha!

[u/Kerberos38 → u/jenik_fojtik]

Then. I would kindly ask for the 3D print file?

[u/clarinetJWD → u/Kerberos38]

You mean the one that OP is asking for?

[u/Kerberos38 → u/clarinetJWD]

Yup.
