Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Spare Tire Upgrade

Add a spare wheel and jack under the cargo area of your Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid (CCH) as the overlanding gods intended.

corolla cross hybrid tire kit

The hybrid AWD model of the Corolla Cross does not include a spare wheel or jack from the factory so we can add the spare ourselves.

I made a tire mount that fits over the power cable lever and elevates the spare tire to avoid stressing the cable.

Ultimaker S3/S5/S7 3D Printer PrusaSlicer Profile

Prusaslicer to ultimaker

You may need PrusaSlicer to slice a model to print on your Ultimaker S3/S5/S7 3D printer for a multitude of reasons:

  • Slicing error
  • PrusaSlicer specific surface patterns
  • Different prime tower shapes
  • Experimentation

The Ultimaker S-line printers usually refuse to print model G-code sliced with PrusaSlicer and non-Cura slicers by default due to a special header requirement and custom homing/leveling routine.

Prusaslicer profile supported ultimaker printers
