Thread: Perentie Ashtray Instrument Console designs

So I have only been part of this forum a short time, and already people have been very helpful, - so to that end I have a gift for you all!






I designed an ashtray replacement for my Perentie this weekend, to house a clock and digital volt meter.

It just drops in the hole snugly.
If you know someone with a 3D printer, I'm releasing the designs free of charge, in thanks for the help I have received.

The first prototype was printed rough and fast, and the finish is poor, but the 2nd print will be printed with higher resolution and better material.

There will be more bits and pieces like this to come.

As part of a business I run, I do 2D/3D design and prototyping.
among other things I have at my disposal are two 3D printers and Two laser cutting machines.

Thanks for being patient with a newbie guys - really appreciate it!

Clock is a "ridge Ryder" brand from supercheap auto for about $15.

It has a memory power pin and an illumination pin, so it can be turned off without forgetting the time.

I wired the switch on the back of the module to take advantage of this so I can still go blackout when hunting.
