Aftermarket USB Fast Chargers for Saab 9-5

Saab 9-5 USB fast chargers

Brothers Jakob and Mattis who are behind the 3D printed Cup holder for the Saab 9-5 presented a new project. Thanks to good thinking, entrepreneurship, and knowledge of 3D design and printing, they made Saab cars even better by making special gadgets.

This time, with their new 3D printing, they upgraded the dashboard by fitting a USB fast charger into it  simply and elegantly. The designers used the empty slots on the dashboard in Saab, which are otherwise intended for upgrades and options, and it was there that they made and 3D printed a new slot that integrates two USB fast chargers. Simply put, the new USB slot looks like it was integrated at the factory.

If you are interested in improving the capabilities of your Saab, you can order this small gadget directly from the designer. Send them a PM if you are interested at saab3dprint or e-mail us at saab3dprint@gmail.com

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
