SatiricalHen Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 So I have access to a 3D printer, Solidworks, and I have my old clock delete panel. I see people adding things to 91 clocks like the Mercedes temp sensor and stuff. So here’s my question. Would anyone be interested in a slightly customizable switch panel? I plan to make a blank in solid works and then I can cut holes for switches (square, round, or whatever you want), cut a hole for the temp sensors display, or whatever can physically fit in the panel. Would anyone like one of these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatiricalHen Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 well I felt like procrastinating some homework so here’s the blank that I drew up. I can add more fillets or adjust some measurements if need be. I will obviously print one and make sure it will fit correctly in my Comanche before trying to make them for others.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Looks like a good idea. Probably would be a better alternative than cutting holes into the clock or the clock delete panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 That is awesome. Perfect place to add about anything. Any idea what they would cost? I could see a definite use for this. I would believe you could sell quite a few considering it works also for the XJ platform. We all know there's a ton of those out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatiricalHen Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 i haven't really thought out price yet. I was just trying to gauge interest before spending too much time test fitting and designing different layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I made my own. I'd suggest you make all three panels.......hell, make a gauge panel while you're at it, a blank. I think it's a great idea, if you have the means, do it. If you are looking for a market-? Be ingenious and create something unique. The three small panels are useless anyway. The only problem you'll have if finding customers who are ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you do for yourself, if others want to go along for the ride......then fine, but don't count on it. The only thing that would hold me back is the quality of 3D printed parts.......show me quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try to put my REM in the panel possibly, but we’ll see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatiricalHen Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 started working on a panel that would go where the fog light switch panel goes, I was talking to someone and they mentioned wanting to put a gauge in that location. Figured I’d give those panels a go as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make them as a blank panel and let the buyers make their own holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I can’t cut straight to save my life. I figured printing with holes would guarantee straight evenly spaced holes.
