Check on Thangs.com and see if they're available.

Otherwise you've gotta make them yourself from scratch.

If you have a design in mind, DM me with some dimensions and I can make them up in CAD for you.

Thingiverse was the first place I went. I was shocked they were not there. I’m not schooled in how to design something yet but that will be my next step I guess!

 

Congrats on becoming a 3D printer owner. I personally own 3 myself. I bought this kit from Amazon, rather than 3D printing them.

Amazon.com

If you want to get into some minor CAD, there is always TinkerCAD online. I use it for a good portion of the things and great for beginners.

Another good place to search for STL files for 3D printing is yeggi - 3D Printer Models Search Engine. It's an aggregator and combines search results from multiple sites.

BTW, I think this is what you are looking for: https://www.printables.com/en/model/564848-2023-chevrolet-stowflex-tailgate-dividers

 

Let me know how it goes. I have a Bambu X1C that I have been tinkering with for the past month or so.

 

Skipping the Creality craze and going straight for the Bambu. Bambu makes great products and can print at ridiculous speeds. I have a small army of Enders to achieve what I could with a single Bambu unit. Totally jealous.

 

The Amazon Kit is a real good deal! I love mine!

 

Hello friends. I had tackled this topic last August. The shape of the compartment is tough, so I was sort of eyeballing with some dial calipers and cardboard. I got particularly discouraged after my test pieces warped due to the heat of the summer. As such, I do NOT recommend PLA. Honestly you might try to cnc with kydex or something.

In the below link are .stl files for my iterations trying to prototype dividers for the tailgate. You are welcome to take the torch from me. I got pissed and stopped my efforts so I forget exactly which version was the best. Have fun.

Any in-vehicle application would likely need to be ABS to handle the heat. I don't think any other medium is going to be able to stand up to the temps you'll see in the box

 

I have some ASA and ABS that I have yet to crack open. Once it warms up just a bit, I might give it a shot.

 

Yeah, I hate printing in ABS because it requires such high heat for printing, I always have stringing with it but the parts generally come out much stronger. It's all I will use for vehicle parts.

 

I am a complete rookie at 3d Printing but have taken this project on. Already made some mistakes mentioned above. Tinkered with the width and that made it not fit length wise due to the odd angle closest to truck side. I'll grind that one down and use it because it was such a long print.
Next one I will fix the angle. I'm using PLA Plus. Is ABS that much stronger? I have the upgraded hot end and firmware for ABS but at this moment I have so much PLA and PLA Plus, I am not messing with ABS till I finish some projects! This hobby is addicting.

 

I wouldn't say ABS is stronger than PLA+, but PLA tends to warp/degrade easier due to moisture and heat. ABS allows for more flex than PLA as well. There are multiple online resources that compare the filament types so you can better choose for your application. If you are using Cura as your slicer program, you can adjust the thickness without changing the whole model dimensions. There is a checkbox you need to deselect so it doesn't adjust your X and Y dimensions. I personally want to start printing with Nylon. And yes, it's super addicting. I own 4 printers, and one of them is my own custom build. They are always running...

 

It might be worth a try with PETG. It has higher temperature resistance & doesn't absorb moisture near as much as PLA, yet is easier to work with than ABS. I've used PETG for a couple interior parts, such as an improved cup holder insert in my Corvette, with no warpage in 2 years.

 

I just printed some in ASA (my own design… didn’t see this printables version!). They wedge-fit in fine. So far so good, but we’ve only hit 80° so far so I don’t k ow how well they’ll hold up to 100+, but ASA is one of the highest heat resistant FDM materials. It is my new favorite

 

I just printed some in ASA...It is my new favorite

The prints I had on my dash printed in PLA+ didn't last very long in the summer sun before getting soft and deforming. I have printed with ABS a few years ago, but tried ASA a few weeks ago for the first time. Other than having to add some glue stick to my bed and print with brim, the ASA has been holding up very well. Having to print it at a slower speed is a bit of a drawback, but if it holds up better in the long run, I'm fine with that.

 

Printed the set from Printables. I used plane old cheap PLA, as it was one of my first print projects, and that's all I had on hand then. They held up fine to below zero temps this winter. But, I fully expect that I may be remaking them with another material after the coming summer heat.

 

When I got my Line-X bed liner installed, the place that did it broke the large plug where the inverter outlet is normally located (which mine did not come with). So rather than ordering a replacement, I designed and printed mine own, if anyone is interested or needs a replacement. Currently working on designing brackets for swapping out the 2.75" dash mid-tweeters for a set of JL Audio C1-100ct 1" tweeters. I think we need a separate thread for sharing 3D designs for our trucks...

and my tweeter brackets for the dash:

 

You're going to need to print these in ABS or PETG, with you being new to 3d Printing, ABS isn't as easy to print as PETG, so you'll need to use PETG. Since a decent spool of PETG is around $25, you do sometimes get what you pay for, it's cheaper and probably better to buy the Amazon item listed below.

I've owned Ender's now for 4 years and can design using Fusion 360, and still I'd buy the ones off of Amazon, the old "time = money" comes to mind.

 

I hear you. It's kind of me vs them now. And, I like the adventure of figuring it out... when I have time.

 

My design for tailgate dividers I made for my new 2024 Canyon has been uploaded to Thingiverse. Printed in PTEG, pretty good temperature perfomance and will work fine for that application. You can search on thingiverse since this is my first post and won't let me add a link.
