Very cool. Looks like it was designed by the Illuminati and Da Vinci’s secrets are inside. ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Hey Mark, wondering (maybe you mentioned it in this long thread), but what are the UV characteristics of the plastic being used for all these parts?
Sturdy? SHouldn't warp, should it?
Minor update.
I'm a bit behind with this. I finally reached back out to Mark99 to update the diameter of the parking brake handle. I confirmed that Xometetry has ULTEM, which I will use for the relay bases. I still need to find what I did with my relay base.
Today I ordered a set of AC side grilles from Xometry. I printed them in Nylon, using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). It doesn't have stepping like FDM, but it does have a bumpy texture when finished. I opted to have these grilles media tumbled and dyed black. They should arrive next week, and the forum member offered to snap some photos.
Edit: Pic added. Old installed with new on top. He is going to paint with textured rustoleum, same as my radio face plate.

I'm wondering if you can paint the side grilles and while the paint is wet, rub on some elephant skin vinyl on it to give it texture?

That would be a bit challenging w/the slats?
Mark,
In the link below you’ll find all the files for the ignition and the fixed Center Consol. I made quite a few adjustments, some dimensions that we hadn’t noticed as “wrong” were different with the metal one I was sent, so there are changes all over the file. I believe that this is now correct, and we shouldn’t have issues. The washer and indent are included.
Right. Not only does this replicate a hard to find/unavailable part, every metal piece we replace with this process makes the car lighter. That's not a terrible thing in most cases. Kinda why CSL's are so cool...teahead said:Maybe 3d print the stainless strip pieces on the inside door cards and have them plastic-chromed?
