Thread: Disco 2 - 3D printed parts

I'd suggest RH A pillar cover and windscreen plenum would be popular, but I imagine the latter would be too big for a home printer.

Finish isn't perfect, but fit is good. Still learning the intricacies of setting up the printer and material specs.

Yeah both of these are a bit too big for a home printer - could still be done in multiple parts but wouldn't be particularly sexy in the case of a pillar cover. If someone actually needs it, I'll give it a crack!

I'll admit I've never tried blender, but Fusion360 is another great option for designing your stl models. It's free and pretty intuitive to use in my opinion.

I would love some sort of housing that would fit in the space between the instrument binnacle and the A pillar
that will fit a Madman EMS3

That looks achievable and about the right amount of challenge for my current skill level. Are you able to post/PM a photo of your ideal position? Maybe if you just tape a mock up in situ?

I'll email the supplier to see if I can get schematics, otherwise I'll need you to whip out the calipers.

One of these two concepts?

Ha, have been looking at the 3D machines with many thoughts how they could be utilized.

The first idea I had I had was to incorporate 2" EGT and Watertemp guages neatly onto the top of the cover of the instrument binnacle, one either side at around 45 degrees off TDC. As I already have to cut the top of the dash board to fit the alpine stereo in, have purchased a plastic welder/cutter which I thought would also lop off the top of the instrument binnacle cover which would then ideally extend across to the A pillar to house the Two Radio or switches or ultimately a hard wired winch controller etc.

The X810D-U has a single din 8"screen and it is going to be touch and go if I have remove any plastic below the screen but to sit flush, the upper dash is going to have be cut. Was hoping the cut piece would be turned around to hide the ugly metal casing but a 3 D cover piece which some bloke on that the thingiverse has done would be the better solution!! - did try to find but later will search the net for it! Again this should house a couple of extra switches on the upper edge as it is not going to block line of site, or inconjunction with the binnacle, switches between the right side and binnacle sweeping up nicley...

The ultimate is, converting the Sunvisor to a 12" screen holder!!!, flipping it down and viola, there is a lovely 12 inch screen or ipad etc. Has a lovely surround to attach to and is already powered with the mirror ( the ultimate mirror upgrade, a camera on the ipad / tablet!!) This would be fantastic for Hema Maps etc. as the sunvisor for mine still sits high enough to be down when driving. The X802D alpine has hema maps standard- bit more than I paid for mine I might add LOL

Ohh could go on but hope this gets the brain salivating ideas for you!!
