What's the best accessory for your model 3?

Printed myself one of these. No idea if it fits yet - find out soon enough I guess! Has anyone else printed this one out?
I printed a similar one from Thingiverse but it was far too loose a fit on the thread - just pulled off.Printed myself one of these. No idea if it fits yet - find out soon enough I guess! Has anyone else printed this one out?
By chance I had previously ordered some furniture thread inserts from Ebay and one of them turned out to be a perfect fit in the printed hook and for the M3's exposed bolt thread.
Been fitted for the past 12 months but only used occasionally - certainly useful when there's nothing else stopping bags from sliding around in the boot.
Things slide around more with the boot liner as its more slippy than the original boot lining.
There's no provision for hooks to use with bungee cords

I think they are essential really when you see how much crud they collect Very good fit , appear durable but sent the frunk mat back as poor fit with a gap all round Tesla OEM good quality but as you say expensive

I just went with oem for frunk and trunk. Will see how the front fits when I get the car. I always get the all weather mats for any new car. Living in Scotland it’s rarely dry and sunny at this time of year and keeps the carpets as new.
Snapping the replacement boot LEDs back in position is harder because of the plastic ring retainer that's supposed to hold them securely in place... you can actually cut the plastic rings along one of their long sides and they still do just as effective a job of retaining the lights in position... it saves breaking your fingers trying to make them fit!

Smooth self tapping bag hook for Tesla Model 3 trunk by Toucan21
This grocery / bag hook combines 2 other designs for the best of both worlds. It uses the nice smooth and easy printing hooks from Peterkrull and the excellent self tapping system of Motorpixiegimbals. Simply print and screw on to the threaded bolt in the trunk of the Model 3. No tools needed...

Works a treat.
Edit: Just noticed yours is a remix of the one I used.
I did the same. Always intended to trim the retainer piece for an easier fit but the lights have stayed in place and caused no problems without for well over a year now. The retainers are now in the parts bin if needed in the future.
Yes, they do stay in place without the retainers but rather loosley depending on the boot liner holes. I found that if something in the boot brushed against them they would shouggle (wiggle) like they were about to fall out. The adapting of the plastic clip retainer is the answer if you do want/need a little more of a secure fitting.
I have the upper boot liner. Not sure it reduces noise ( I had it before I got the car). Aesthetically it looks a lot better than the painted metal imo though. Never had a car with so much untrimmed places since about 2000 lol.
