I made an adapter or two. This isn't even all of them.

These dash mounts dropped right in. But I've already identified some areas that can be improved - will adjust the model and have them re-printed soon. Fighting the urge to just buy a P1S right now 😏

Used the sunglass holder to put the conductor and the garage door opener.

Well D@mn! That's crafty, luv seeing what you guys come up with.

What are the standard grilles like? Usable with this set up or will you print some to match?

I have an X1 Carbon and I'd like to try printing some mounts with CF reinforced ABS, I think it should hold up to dashboard temps but correct me if you discover otherwise.

Use ASA-CF. It's less toxic and won't fade. Or spend a little extra and get some Priline PC-CF.

Excellent, thank you. Googling for a spool now...

These will be covered with factory grills that have the material in the center of them cut out and the whole thing wrapped with black grill cloth.

I'm just learning about the different FDM filaments myself. These were printed in ASA which from what I read, and found on youtube filament test videos, can withstand the summer heat inside a parked car. It also accepts thread cutting fasteners without cracking from my experience.

@BobTheBirdTurd - What's the advantage of using a -CF type filament in this applications?

ABS/ASA/PC are notorious for warping and shrinking, you need a hot bed, use a brim to increase surface area (on smaller parts), and the chamber temps needs to kept as high as possible to help prevent premature cooling of the part, thereby warping and possibly breaking free from the bed. Even then, there will be some dimensional deviations requiring the tweaking of the profile to compensate to the shrinking. CF will add a little strength to the part, but it's primary benefit is dimensional stability. You get much less shrinking, parts are more stable (closer to desired dimensions), and substantially less warping. I have never had a warped part printed with Priline PC-CF, that includes printing on my old Ender 3 printers that were not in a chamber. It must be kept dry, I run mine directly from the dryer while actively being dried during the entire print. I do the same for ASA, I don't print with ABS as ABS and ASA are pretty much the same except ASA has 10x UV protection and is less toxic. CF filaments also look nice and can easily be sanded and painted.

Just for grins and giggles I printed a part with a .05 layer height. First time I have tried anything smaller than .12. It took forever to print but I like the result.

New toy. The learning is going to be steep here.

Nice, lets us know how you like it. I don't really care for the one I have.

 

[Dan750iL]

Definitely a steep learning curve so far. I am struggling to get a good scan on anything but the little figurine that came with it. Since I can get a good scan of that I know the scanner works. The operator just needs to get up to speed.

phone holder and conductor mount in abs… let’s hope it goes right… the enclosure is the spare room and it stays closed for the duration… no draughts and it’s printed ok so far in ABS for the test efforts

fingers crossed with that print time… it’s only 150g of filament so approx £3 if it fails 😂

 

[dumdum]

Couldn’t recall which way up the conductor cable came off so cut two notches lol

Tweeter pods for Morel MT300's. These will hopefully be temporary until I can build some pillars to hold them. Printed in ABS.

I'm not even going to finish them, they are good enough as is.

They will go somewhere hear, next to the sail panel and 4" mids in the dash. They aim at the dome light.

Hey guys, I've been dipping my toes into fusion 360 and I have been successful in creating what I've wanted to so far, but I'm trying work with surfaces/form and I'm not sure where to start. Are any of you more skilled members willing to give me a bit of guidance on the side? Anyone willing dm me. I'll certainly throw some funds your way for the effort.

 

[pwnt by pat]

Surfaces aren't too awful and useful for making complex transitions and sweeps easier. Forms seem like magic - no idea how to even start working with them.

 

[BobTheBirdTurd]

Forms are a pain in the ass. I can work with them a bit, but an expert.

 

[Sounds_Insane]

Surfaces aren't too awful and useful for making complex transitions and sweeps easier. Forms seem like magic - no idea how to even start working with them.

Forms are just like poly modeling in other 3D programs. It's like using polys with a Turbosmooth in Max or Smooth in Maya, and frankly, those programs are better at it, but they are not good at modeling to a precise scale or dimension.

My point is, once you get used to them, they are not difficult to understand, but I still use solid and surface modeling in Fusion because that's what it's designed for.
