So, I have been noticing that I am having issues with my right leg in my new Kia Stinger and I've narrowed it down to the fact that the space between my right leg and the center console is too wide/great and is causing hip issues on long drives. I didn't notice this while test driving the car, but def noticed it on my 4 hour drive home after buying it.

I'm trying to figure out a process to create and maybe even 3D print something that will hug, shape around this area of the center console . .

I'm talking about the area to the right of your knee in the driver side. Basically, where the glass back is to the right of the temp control knob, and the area under the silver sliding door.

Does anyone know of a way to do an easy mold of this that I could use to then fashion together something? If I had one of those cool scanner tools I could create a 3d scan of the area, and then use some kind of free software to create a 3D print to grip around that area and attach a foam/gel to it, but I don't have that.

Located in Socal, and just wondering if anyone has any ideas or is also having the same problem and might want to try this out together? Hell, once its done we could throw it up with open source/free license for other to use.

Its a total shot in the dark, but figured I would give here a try first before going to a 3D printing forum to ask.

You can buy foam blocks in all kinds of densities for cheap. You could order a few from Amazon, keep the one that has the right feel, and cut contours into it until you get the shape you want. After that you could cover it in fabric or some kind of vinyl/leather that blends in with your interior and is comfortable.
