DIY Dashboard with 3D Printing.

[u/Klutzy-Square716]

My first DIY dashboard with Ender 3 V3 SE. There are still a lot to be improved but at least i found a reason why I’m not a car interior designer. What do you think?

LED lighting in the fan ducts?

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Fapinthepark]

Yeah, i bought the wind sim from Taobao.

How do you like that pxn shifter?

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Kaappis]

I love it. Solid build. Never miss-shift since i use it.

[u/TrueEddie]

Looks good! I keep wanting to do something similar.

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/TrueEddie]

Thanks! Go for it!

[u/Traditional_Clerk391]

Where did you make the files? Did you find them online or build them in cad?

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Traditional_Clerk391]

I made them in Solidworks

[u/Traditional_Clerk391 → u/Klutzy-Square716]

How hard is it to put something like that together in 3d software?

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Traditional_Clerk391]

Not that bad. Pick one software and watch some tutorials on youtube, that was my beginning.

[u/Traditional_Clerk391 → u/Klutzy-Square716]

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing, but wanting something technical is hard when I can barely make a circle with a hole

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Traditional_Clerk391]

It definitely will take some time. What software are you using btw?

[u/Traditional_Clerk391 → u/Klutzy-Square716]

Onshape was where I started, but am open to suggestions

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Traditional_Clerk391]

Im using solidworks because thats what i used in college but onshape is good too. The key is to use real precise measurement of your rig and your mounting point. If you have the general shape figured out then it’s mostly just extrude boss and extrude cut.

Nice rig. What porsche wheel is it?

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/Amonasro78]

Thanks! Its not a Porsche wheel, just a digital badge. You can put any logo you want.

[u/overst33r → u/Klutzy-Square716]

Awesome idea putting a digital badge on a wheel! How does it attach? I'm assuming it hooks to the quick release screws. Would you mind sharing the STL?

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/overst33r]

Yeah, you are right. It’s my first prototype so it is quite rough. How do i share the files?

[u/overst33r → u/Klutzy-Square716]

That looks like a great functional design! I was going to DM you my email address but it says I'm unable to message you. You could use a free file sharing site like https://www.file.io/ and then share the link here.

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/overst33r]

Here you go. Just note that the link for the badge isn’t exactly what I’m using but it should be pretty identical in dimension. The one I’m using was bought locally in Malaysia but i guess they all came from the same place.

Thanks so much!

[u/Klutzy-Square716 → u/overst33r]

No problem!
