Just wanted to come in here and say Thank yYou. Since I got my F80 back in early 2017 I have been unable to make use of this feature. I kind of forgot about it until now since I'll be taking a long road trip next month and don't want a cable hanging out while driving my car in the hills if I need to be charging it. My friend was able to print this piece out for me and I swapped it in less than ten minutes!

I can now place my HP Elite X3 in the charging cubby without issue. Thank you for making this part available to the public. I appreciate it!

So I just re-uploaded the file to Shapeways and ordered it. I don't think there's a way to mess up downloading the file from TinkerCAD and re-uploading to Shapeways but I'll update once I receive it. Standard shipping is kinda slow so it may be 2-3 weeks.

New shapeways link (let me know if it doesn't work)

FYI, I was not allowed to post this publicly on shapeways because "of an allegation of trademark infringement by BMW". Shapeways was forced to remove the part. There shouldn't be any problems uploading and printing for yourselves but I would avoid posting it on your Shapeways store. Another service for printing parts that was recommended to me was 3dhubs.

Steve - thanks a bunch for responding and appreciate you sharing. I've got this uploaded into Shapeways and was just curious which material option you'd suggest for this piece?

Not saying you should, but one could upload it, purchase it, then delete it.

Just installed it in my X2 wireless charging tray, a must have!

Was easier than on the M2, you simply pop it out of the center console and T5 torx....took me less than 3 min

Thanks a lot, Steve, you are awesome !!!

I've printed your model one 3DHubs and followed your instructions now my iPhone 8 plus can fit perfectly in the wireless charger.

BTW, I've printed it in PETG and the only thing I'm a little bit concerned with is for how long it can last.
