I was given an Ender 3 Pro last week and after a few bumps managed to successfully CAD, slice and print a booster seat for my phone. The caddy as it was would grab the volume down button on my phone, this little wedge solves the issue!

Way to go! What material did you use? I ask because, where I am, many common printable materials would deform and melt in a car. As much as I've wanted to make things like this.
In summer you might just find a PLA part in a puddle on the floorboards. XD hahaha (Hyperbole, but you get me.)
Printed a sun visor extension out of PLA in my early days of printing. Had to run out to my car at like noon to grab something and it was deformed and droopy and could be reshaped as easily as a piece of leather... I learned a lesson that day, lol.
I printed a test piece (something much smaller) out of PETG to see if that would handle it. It would not, also got soft and sloppy after a couple of hours in the car.
Just PLA, I've only had the printer for a week. It will make it though the winter but I'm not sure about the rest of this summer.
