Austenp405 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 So, in the process of rewiring the whole car I wanted to simplify all the electric controls to one panel in the center console. Originally I planned to CNC mill it, but thought I'd try a different approach: Drew it up in SolidWorks and exported the stl file for printing: Print in-progress. The hexagonal infill pattern keeps materials and weight down while still being super strong: After printing, the toggle switches were added and the wiring started: After the toggle switches are done, add a kick ass starter button, slap on some paint, and voila!

LanceVance Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Very nice! Is this supposed to replace a factory panel (such as the fuse cover), or is it simply a universal design? I imagine customized layout fuse panel covers would be pretty popular here... Just sayin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenp405 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks Lance. It's not designed to work with any of the stock pieces because there's not much of the original panels left on my car. I'm sure they'd be popular but I really don't have desire to make for-profit parts; this project is my way to test my limits and have a little bit of fun, money be damned.
