Icon3 Make of the bottom of the center console flat

I wanted to hold more CDs in the center console so I created 3D printable blocks to fill in the space at the bottom of the center console. I have like 20 CDs in there now because I can push 13 of them to front and then put more in at an angle towards the hinge. Sharing in case anyone else wants a more practical center console. Im an EE not an ME so its not perfect... you can come at me when you figure out how to measure those gaps accurately using just calipers and a stack of index cards.

I think the DXF file will let you modify the original sketch in Fusion360 so if you wanted to make it 20mm instead of 19mm tall it should be the right height to make it level enough so you could put a piece of vinyl on top and make it look factory-ish. I did not do this because I am afraid of commitment.

Love to hear your thoughts

That's a pretty good idea to make the bottom flatter. Good work!
