Do you have the STL file you could share?

There you go

I decided a bag was better since it would fit in the door pocket.

Probably could have gotten away with a medium bag on length but I wanted to make sure that the girth of the adapter was nicely encompassed without stretching the bag.

Serves more than one purpose

There you go

There is two different versions available for cars before '25 and '25 onwards, as the shape of the frunk has changed and the angled orientation does no longer fit.

I previously owned a 22 Mach E GTP and did the buy back after a year and and a half and yesterday took delivery of my 2025 GT which now comes with the Tesla adapter. I feel a good place to store it is in the frunk but do not want it banging around. I found this case on Amazon https://amzn.to/3IWlEEr and was wondering if any others have used it?

I have three of those cases (one for each of my EVs) and they work great. I have the tesla made adapters. I would not put it in the frunk, keep it cool in the cabin. My adapter in the Ford sits in the console under the phone charging pad. These adapters can overheat easily in high temps and then limit the charge rates. Might not matter as much on the MME, because it charges at a relatively low amperage.

Thanks for the info but I feel I have a better chance of getting hit by lightning then actually needing the adapter. Drove my first Mach E 19k and never used a public charger.

Years ago I bought a trunk organizer for my Prius Prime. It is now in my MME trunk.
It was $42 dollars on Amazon.
I took out the smaller dividers so I had only two compartments.
I use one for storing a loaded shopping bag and the other holds paper towels, a blanket, a small 12V battery charger, and the adapter.
The full shopping bag never tips over and I get no sounds from the other half that contains the adapter. This a great and sturdy organizer.

My case showed up and fits in the deep side of the Frunk on the drivers side nicely. For you 3D Print people I found this design on Thingiverse which looks like a good model. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6989806

I have the Ford Lectron adapter in the box it came in and stored in the frunk. I tend to use the A2Z adapter which has its own case and also is stored in the frunk. The A2Z adapter will set nicely in the door pocket outside the case, so I keep it there when I expect to use it. No noise, so I tend to forget it for a few days before I remember to put it back after a trip. I also have the A2Z L2 adapter in the frunk, but I have not needed that yet.

My Mach-E will peak at 450 amps, and I have not seen a derate based on the temperature of the adapter. However, I just may not have used it in a hot enough environment.

Not my model, it was posted in this forum some time ago. I printed it in ASA to make sure it wouldn't melt in the frunk. It is a little loose, and I currently have a small towel wedged behind it to keep it from bouncing around.
