Good job dude, very cool. Man oh man would I love to have a 3D printer. So many possibilities for my car alone.. just making and repairing all the 30 year old broken bits that don’t exist anywhere.
Honestly it's one of the best applications. And printing in ABS you can make them really strong, or at least use them as masters to do injection molded replacement parts. Extra useful when paired with a 3D scanner
Greetings from Reddit. This is kind of a similiar process to what I did when I integrated my solution for this cubby. Nice install, and great insight. It's also interesting to see the design differences in the console assembly. The glare issue you discussed was also hot on my radar, which is why I went with an arcade style overhang/marquee to help shade the screen from heavy sunlight during the day. Awesome fabrication work!!
Greetings. Yeah, that glare was critical. I really considered deepening the recess or adding an overhang like you say, but by testing as I went I realised I didn't need it so it was all good. Appreciate you feeding back buddy
Not from that angle. When you look from the other side it does. Quirk of the wrap. Doesn't matter now though as I've already rewrapped the whole console in black suede, and that panel in plain black vinyl. You'll see in a video next week.
Looks clean quality work

That looks wonderful. Very nice job.
Appreciated buddy.
Man thats bad ass
Appreciated buddy
Great video mate and thanks for providing the stl files, i'm gonna have a crack at this!
Have to let me know how you get on!
Looks good man. On a side note, You can use alot less hardener in that body filler.
Fair point. I always just used the rough rule of 1cm high and 2-3cm wide, and do a line down the middle. Or golf ball vs pea. Always seems to work.
But when you're using your reversing camera, you don't need to look out your windscreen to watch the road
Reversing camera is only used to judge the distance from kerb / wall.
So you don't need to look out the windscreen to see the reversing camera display@@ValentineAutos
Nice Job. I'm looking for a Kenwood double din for my 350. You still got it?

The Carbon Fiber lines don't match the rest of the carbon that's there already.
