Modifying the Dashboard - 3D Printing

[RAW]

I wrote a post about middle son's ever increasing 3D Printing skills and a shout out to get any printing work done. He now has two colours of print filament, blue and green !! The filament is £25 to £50 or more a roll depending on what the plastic type is.

The New Old Merc I have has a problem with the Drivers heating and will probably need to strip out the Dash fully, that is another story; but in the interim I have been thinking and deliberating about switching and isolating components like USB chargers and so on so we have modified the Dash board in the old Mercedes
incorporating 3-D Printing and this little USB Power Supply I wrote about a while ago here

Lachlann has taken some time to make prototype components of the Dash infills


These were tested and developed and I bought some blue filament

The centre part was created from what was a small compartment that was removed from the dash

Made some additional mods as did not like the metal in the USB charger showing at the front
