Bored today to I made a ashtray gauge pod
I wanted to get a gauge pod for the ashtray but they aren't offered anymore so I decided to draw one up in solidworks and print it out on a FDM machine out of ABS plastic so its pretty tough. I printed it in 3 pieces to test fit it all. The top section inst glued together in the pic yet since im going to make some small adjustments to the model. Took ~3.5hrs of time to print but im pretty happy with the results The only thing left to do is prime it and paint it to match the center console.

Thats pretty awesome, could you make one angled a bit toward the driver? How much would you charge for that?

Looks fantastic! I too wish that it were clocked 25* to 30* toward the driver though. I'd buy one. Great job of designing and execution!

I went to a cad dimensions 3d seminar in engineering or college and watched a planetary gear box get printed all assembled. Amazing stuff

Making it angled towards the driver would be as difficult as modifying my 3d model and printing another one. As far as selling them I don't know how cheap I can make them since its a rather time consuming process and I have to babysit it while its printing. I'll let you guys know though.
