I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn't like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood

I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.

It honestly came out way better than I even expected!

If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!

Be careful with PLA in your car, it will probably deform in the sun.

For sure! Luckily I park in an underground garage, so my car interior never really gets over 90

I have some PC just in case it does warp
