I have this
one one

It does not interfere with the ashtray cover.

This one will fit, it's the same type as came with "round 1"

As Bob posted above, this adapter:
Mini Dual USB Car Charger Cigarette Lighter Fast Adapter Charging Quick Charge | eBay
fits in the ashtray very nicely and lets the cover slide over it easily. At this moment unfortunately, they're only available in green.

Default Round 3 shipment

The "round 3" shipment was carried out almost 1 month ago,
of which 2 are still not delivered. (Bill Mack and WVChris)
They both seem to be stuck at "Your item cleared United States Customs (ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS))"
This is the same location as the one of arenaej, who received his item after ~40 days.
With arenaej's shipment, I and himself called the shipping companies for investigation, but it's not clear if that action was the "trigger" or actually action was taken.
If after coming weekend there is still no movement of these 2 packages, I'll call again.

My local postmaster is a friend of mine. He told me that for every USPS employee that comes back from having COVID, 10 more go out. There is no way to get these items to move...waiting is the only option and they will get delivered...

Bob,

I just called the Customer Service phone number for the US Postal Service, and spoke to an international shipment service advisor. She tracked the bar code you gave me for the package and told me that she could not see anything beyond receipt at US Customs on December 25. The package has not been released to the Postal Service, nor has it been sent back to you. She further said that inquiries of this sort have to come from the shipper and that she could not provide any help to the recipient. I would appreciate your looking into this at your earliest convenience.

Thanks.

Hmmm... Did you do something especially naughty just before Christmas? Santa may have delivered it someone on the ‘nice’ list.

WVChris his package has the exact same status as yours, one day earlier.
If I call now, they will probably tell me "please wait another 5 days".

No problem. Call when you think it's right to do so.

Confirming that I have the same status and perhaps like Bill, look forlornly at the empty mailbox every day. But I think the 2nd round folks had a pretty long wait, and that wasn't right on top of Christmas. I'm just going to distract myself with other things for now. When it arrives, I'll report in.

The package of Bill Mack moved to a new status today (Arrived at USPS facility GRAND RAPIDS MI DISTRIBUTION CENTER ANNEX on January 18, 2021 at 2:33 am),
WVChris his package still has the same status as the 24th of December. Probably this one will move shortly also.

Yay! Good news Bill.... IDK about you, but I have little patience waiting for stuff once I have ordered it. I am currently in my 4th week of waiting for a shipment (audio gear) from China. Yet I ordered something else on a Saturday and it was in my hands the following Wednesday, Go figure. And the CNY starts soon, and then everything stops dead in its tracks for about 4 weeks. You will just love Bob's ADU when it finally arrives (same for WVChris).

Bob, thanks for the good news! And Barnsie, thanks for the good wishes.

Interestingly, I just did a track on PostNL (probably for the 50th time...) and it does not show that move - see below. But I'll take the better news no matter where it comes from! I hope WVChris is not far behind.

This just in for mine.

Your item arrived at our USPS facility in CHAMPAIGN IL DISTRIBUTION CENTER on January 18, 2021 at 12:28 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

Yea!

Interesting, it ravels from Europe to Champaign in the middle of downstate IL in the Midwest to back track to West Virginia. Go figure.

My 3D print has now arrived! Dumb question time, where is the place to get instructions on how to put this lot together and make it work? The website or one of the posts in this enormous thread?

Well if the USPS tracking is to be believed, my ADU is road tripping from NYC to Champaign, IL to Irving and Dallas, TX, now back to Champaign.
