3D Printed Switch Panel for Sunglasses Holder

[dsieber]

Hey, I have another question - I don't suppose you have a plastic available that's close to the dark grey interior colour...?

I actually haven't been able to source a plastic that is similar to the grey interior because I don't have any grey interior parts to use as reference. I need to get some samples and then hopefully find somebody local to compare with.

I volunteer! I may even have some gray plastic, what do you use?

Great! If I'm back in Knoxville soon that'd be awesome. I use any 1.75mm ABS filament that has the color I'm looking for. I'm assuming the interior grey color is pretty light, right?

If it helps, I currently have a spare fusebox cover in the grey colour that I'm planning to someday use for a project. I could throw it in the mail to you, as long as I get it back eventually.

How's this whole thing going? I have yet to need that switch panel, but it's intriguing...

Any update to this?

I don't need a switch panel either but I already have few switches for my light bars and dually pods. I'm thinking, "man it'd be nice not having to reach over to the left side of the steering wheel to turn on lights when I can just raise my right arm to the ceiling and activate said lights."

The only problem I have with this overhead is the limitation on type of switches you can use. I'd obviously love to try keep my switches OEM-based but I'm open minded to SPOD switches. Just need to hunt around for good deals on them

Bumping back up so I can find this thread more easily.

Anyone have one of these for sale or @TiN thinking of making another run soon?

As requested by [MENTION=67786]4RunAmok[/MENTION] , I designed a version that will be compatible with sPOD HD 8-button pads.

Switches should be here tomorrow, so I'll post a completed picture of the first print then.

sPOD Version:

I scanned through the thread quickly, so I might have missed it.... but is there an update on the sPOD design? If I pull the trigger on a sPOD, I would be interested in this as I think its a great place for it.

TiN seems to have vanished as of Feb. I don’t know if anyone here knows him personally and what the story is. Hopefully he’s okay.

What about one that fits the switch pros?

 

[dsieber]

Thought I'd try bumping this to see if TiN has some time to think about this project again...

Just posting in here for anyone else looking for the Tin man, he's alive and well. He's still printing parts by request if you hit him up on instagram trevor inman. He got a switch panel printed and sent to me very quickly. Now I need to move my hands free mic, wire up my rockers and figure out how to fit the wiring up there, and smooth out the printed finish to make it look OEM perfect.

Good looking out! I shot him a PM to see if he was still making the Fog Light Housings for aftermarket pods.

This is awesome! Perfect place for switches. Does Tin have a single thread with all the awesome stuff he makes?!

@TiN
I am looking to mount my scangauge II in the sunglasses holder. Do you sell your product without any cut outs? I could then cut out my own slot for the gauge install.

Thanks.
