Any interest in a customizable center console trim with interchangeable faceplate? (Page 2/2) Cliff Pennock MAY 13, 07:43 AM Ah, yes, you're right - it’s not exactly "cheap", but it’s still way more affordable than buying a full kit used. I’ve seen complete sets go for over $450 on eBay, and that’s for kits that are only in moderate condition at best. That said, I’ve still got a few things to work out before I can offer anything - let alone a full kit. For example, I just discovered that the faceplates can warp if exposed to direct sunlight for too long. I had a few test pieces sitting in the window sill, and they actually warped around whatever they were resting on. In the car, the effect should be less severe since they’re mounted upright (so gravity won’t pull on them the same way), but they might still flex a bit due to thermal expansion. To counter that, I’ve already made the faceplate one layer thicker, which should help with rigidity. I’m also switching over to ASA for printing, which is much better suited for automotive use - it’s UV-resistant and handles heat well. ASA comes in a range of colors, though unfortunately not in "wood", so for wood-look faceplates I’ll need to experiment with materials like PETG or maybe even post-processing techniques. So, it’s going to be a little while before everything’s ready. I want to test the parts properly in my own car first - especially now that summer’s around the corner. We've already hit 75–80°F here, and my car sits in the sun most of the day, so it should be a great test environment. Raydar MAY 15, 11:09 PM Nicely done! I'm not in the market just now, as I have a few ideas of my own, for stuff I'd like to see. But the real problem is that I already have a bunch of stuff on my plate, so I don't have a lot of free time to do things. Cliff Pennock MAY 18, 04:37 AM I printed a trim with ASA and it prints a lot cleaner than PETG. If you put the original next to the ASA print, it's actually hard to tell which is which. That said, printing with ASA is... a challenge to say the least. It always warps at the corners, and it shrinks about 1% as it cools. That small amount is enough to make the piece not fit. I’ve ordered an enclosure to help with the warping, and I’ll have to scale the model up a bit to account for the shrink. Shouldn’t be too hard, but it’ll take a few test prints to dial it in.
