3D Printed Parts for Interior Parts

-
Hey MuuMuu101, any chance you would share the stl for the gauge panel? I've been pulling my hair out with tinkercad trying to get things to work. I understand if no is your answer as it is your time and design.

Thanks

Tom


More printed components!!!

With about a day of designing, 3 days of printing, and $10 in material I might finally have a design for my dash cluster. I had to print it out in 4 pieces because I didn't have enough room in my build volume. I'm very happy with the side pieces. The top piece, I may reprint in a different orientation. The fit isn't amazing, due to the tolerances of the printer though. It seems like it's going to be a pain to glue together. I might end up 3D printing braces to hold everything together while gluing, so it doesn't move around too much.

Besides, that, I'm pretty happy with the look. I think the gauge cluster looks pretty cool. It came with a plexiglass cover which I can't use because it is too big for the opening. I'm not sure if I want to leave the electronics exposed or if I want to get a thin piece of plexiglass and glue it into the printed housing. I added a channel that goes all the way around the perimeter of the printed housing.

Sorry, I haven't logged on very much. Work has been extremely hectic. I should have an update on this in a couple weeks. I'm not sure I want to post the stl online at this moment.
 
Here's my first attempt at printing interior parts. Have not done anything with it since I got it printed. Will try to sand and paint it. Just experimenting right now. Had it printed in green to save a couple bucks on the prototype!

That's awesome, you can put in your own gauges anywhere and put your own finishes on as you like. Nice!

Yeah I modified a stock one for this purpose and it is in my car now. It was a pain in the *** so I decided to try this cause I want to change the old one up a bit.

What 3D printer are you using? My problem is that I can only build about a 7" x 7" build area and I am slowly realizing that I need something bigger.
 
I had this done at a local print place because I have not yet bought my own hardware. I'm trying to figure out how big is big enough. Not sure if I want to start selling stuff or what.
