@@JoeMercer-w8i looks like you found them. Assuming that must have been you that placed the order. Much appreciated.

@ I did. Thanks

Good old Jack!!!! Love that movie.

Yeah, was trying to keep it under 60 seconds for the short. Need to do a follow-up and show off the features more. Appreciate the feedback.

If you purchase the annual license, it should be there. If not, surprising that Autodesk removed it from non-fee version. It might also be its because your using web version. I mostly only use the desktop installed version. Very useful, you can even do logical calls in parameters.

Yolanda, that bracket is what I'd call a nut-tab, lol. Not sure exactly what it's called. Starting at 10:20 I make a comment about it. When AEV and Chevy designed the skid plates, instead of installing rivnuts, welding threaded nuts, or tapping threads to the frame for attaching the skid plate. They instead welded nuts to these tabs of various lengths. One is really long, so I don't recommend actually pulling it out. They would then insert those tabs into access holes on the side of the frame and hold it securely somehow, then screw in Bolts from below through the skid plate mounting locations into that nut on the end of the tab. In the video, you can see where I'm ratcheting at a bolt, and I have I locking pliers holding the tab in place. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow and post it. Also, all of those may only apply if your truck has AEV Skidplates.

Mr. Helpful here, good catch on that! I'll add them to the description as well as here. Also for anyone who downloaded the worksheet, the live links are there.

Thank You. I've got a real dilemma; I need to model left-handed thread to fasten a part onto a 1/2" arbor on a Harbor Freight 6" buffer.

I need to use an updated photo as I added a gull wing awning. Hope do an update walkthrough video soon

Glad it helped. I have to replace mine soon again and dreading it. I'm thinking about taking it in and having the skid plate removed temporarily so I can develop a modification to the skid plate to make it easier.

Yes, I see you found the link to Etsy. Will send them out asap. Thanks

@@archime314 Thanks. Very good idea.

It does not, specific to diesel.

Thanks. Always trying to add things I haven't quite seen by someone else.

No, Oil pan is easily accessible, pretty easy change. Oil filter you can get to just next to air box and engine. At lease for the Duramax.

So far it's holding :). I'll be due in the spring and I'm thinking of getting a garage to do it and help me modify the skid plate, so I can easily just remove a small panel to do the filter change.

Thanks for pointing this out. Since the acquisition by Ultimaker, some of these things have moved or disappeared. There is a Thinkaverse link that gives some details on settings for materials that have been tested with Labs Extruder: www.thingiverse.com/groups/makerbot-labs.

Sorry I don't offer the files on this one. I do sell the bracket on Etsy though, link in the description.

Thanks! If you have any questions during install feel free to reach out. Have you decided where you are going to mount the actual switch box (controller) in the engine bay. I'm curious to where people are installing it for non-diesel engines. Mine was over batter using a bracket I design, which is video 2 of the one you watched.

There are two options: Digital File - 3D Print Your Own: www.etsy.com/listing/1426105076/digital-file-wireless-charger-tray-3d. There are a couple different versions in digital file. Or I can print one for you: www.etsy.com/listing/1440964683/wireless-charger-tray-fit-for-2015-2022. Options are as-is or sanded and painted (I don't do the rubber coating part as that take quite a bit of time). The wireless charger is sold separately and can be purchased on amazon. Be sure to read the description of the video, so best to use PC to view video. There are links there to what charger works with the tray.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. I actually didn't switch to the 8 gang, but I did lay it out to be sure it would fit in same place I put the 6 gang (over my battery). Only downside is you have to remove it to take battery out, but I think I can handle removing the two screws.

Hey good question. For some reason the other video where I hook up all the wiring of this was not showing up: th-cam.com/video/2sleJ3AjRAA/w-d-xo.html, Around 6 min 30 sec, F17. Feel free to watch me trouble shoot it for first 3 minutes, LOL. Also, I used an adapter that allowed me to plug in 2 fuses into the same fuse location.

They'll be back in a week or so. I'm on a little trek and should be back by memorial day so just paused listing while away.

Should be available now on the esty page. Sorry for the delay.

Unfortunately I'm not offering this part as 3D file download.

@Keith yes. I've been on the road so have Etsy on hold till I get back later this week. Hopefully by weekend

Keith, back up no Etsy page. Sorry for the delay.

Was the two machine screw that came with Auxbeam Switch? If you have a pic, please share :).

Gary, I had no issues running power cables or switch cables to my setup with the switch box over the battery. What rig did you install on?

Glad it was useful.

You are looking for the angle bracket I used for mounting the box over the battery?

@@archime314 Yes or your willing to share your design I have a buddy of mine who would be able to 3D print something for me out of ABS.

Do you sell the bracket? If so how much and how do I purchase?

@@Phantom9810 I steered clear of using 3D Printing for mounting this as I feared it would crack. An I happened to have access to a break and sheer at the time. ABS is susceptible to UV and can get brittle over time. So I'd recommend doing a NYLON, PETG, or ASA part. Though I'd also change the design I had because it would need to have gussets added for stiffness, made thicker, and mounted a little different.

@@stevecrossphotograph Not yet. I made this one from scrap metal and I happened to have access to sheer and break at the time. I'm getting some quotes to have some made up.

It's on my Etsy page but currently out of stock. I'll have more ready this week. I'll repost here when they are ready.

Ryan, Finally received new brackets today: www.etsy.com/listing/1271750765/custom-bracket-auxbeam-switch-controller?ref=listings_manager_grid.

Nice work!

Yes, I purposely designed the mounting to position the switch a little lower. This is a 6-gang switch install so it also leaves the heated seat buttons (if you have them). I'm also working on an 8-gang, but that will overlap the heated seat buttons a little.
