3d Printing interior parts

[dross93ranger]

Just ordered mine in Red!

Would you be able to share the CAD file? I'll pay for it (for personal use only), since I have access to a 3D printer.

These look really great, but I really want one machined out of aluminum. I know you're 3D printing them, but is a brushed aluminum version possible?

I could CNC them from aluminum but I'm sure the price wouldn't be worth it. I'm looking for a good matching brushed aluminum vinyl but nothing I like yet. I might be painting and polishing to get that look.

Any opinions on the climate control knob before I make one? I modeled this first attempt with the Audi knobs in mind.

What material are you printing in? Please don't say PLA

No, I never use PLA. I use a flexible plastic that's a powdered nylon. You can't really see the resolution with the naked eye.

Anything from a German car would be more than nice!

I would only be interested in an aluminum option. The way i see it, i already spin a plastic knob. A better plastic knob wouldn't do much for me. What would also be cool in aluminum are the trim rings around outer A/C vents.

Aluminum vents & knobs would motivate me to repurchase the shifter trim to match

Hmm I'll see what I can do for aluminum

I would be *way* in for aluminum, but a convincingly metallic plastic would be a nice visual upgrade for those climate knobs. I'm about to order your shift bezel as well. Very nice piece!

Edit: Is a gloss black finish available for the shift boot trim? I was looking at trying to match the feel of the gloss black stereo control panel up by the display screen...

Matte black ordered, will post photos after install. Expected to arrive around 12/14.

i don't think you'll find any thin enough out of the box. i'm just going to use what i have laying around and cut it to size.

Here are some pictures of mine installed. I used the first aluminum paint I found but it wasn't the best match. This is for demonstration purposes anyway, but I still really like the way it looks. If anyone finds a good color match I think the trim will look OEM. The paint I used was an all-in-one so I think with a primer and clear coat it will look awesome. I simply hit the 3D print with paint to see the outcome.

Well I'll for sure take one, the color match is pretty spot on for just aluminum paint.

What do you guys think of trying out the yellow to match my new shift knob? Is your yellow a close match to the Mountune yellow?

Sorry for the sideways pic

I like the black. I'm working on other parts which I ordered in black to check it out.

I never saw the yellow yet, but I'm sure it'll be bright like their other colors. It may not match your knob perfectly but I think it could look pretty cool.



... and for anyone wondering about carbon fiber. I tested out a piece to see how it would turn out.
