If any of the 3D printer guys are looking for possible sales, their were once side handles made for Maglites for use as a baton, but no more.
Existing ones on ebay are going for around $70.

I don't have a 3D printer, but I'm seeing so many possibilities, I might look into it.

Potentially fusible with Titanium or other exotic metals, functionally not advisable based on the current market as others cost less. No need to mention the need for 3D design/ files.
Our filament 3D printers are good for mockups mostly.

Defrost gauge cluster

Hey all, I made a new account just to post for this thread haha. I'm actually the creator of the phone slot cassette mount featured up there, hopefully there's more to come but I'm fairly busy.Anyways, I was scrolling last night and found this beauty here 👀https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/gauge-pod-air-vent-for-mazda-rx8 A defrost mounted 52mm gauge cluster!I've been keeping my eye out and am hyped that someone made one, I actually have some plans to customize that one down the road..

Has anyone modelled or found Nav hood 3d parts? I'd like to remix the lower part of the hood to accommodate different aftermarket screens. Strangely Chinese sites are full of aftermarket for the main dash and no one has developed a Nav hood retrofit. Even non nav models would work with a fixed screen clipped into that panel.

FYI there is a raspi 7in screen that easily fits into the pup up nav hood. Its what I use for my open auto (android auto) system. You just have to do a lot of trial and error to get things to work.

I have a 3D scanner and have been meaning to do this for either an IC-7 or AIM dash. May things have taken priority over this though ha.

That is kinda of nice and far cheaper than purchasing the already model.

It would be easier to use an OEM sat nav holder if you are not looking for a motorised version, The JDM version

That is a handy tool
Yea I have the OEM nav hood, and I have had a nexus 7 in there before which was great, however I'd love to be able to edit the bottom part of the nav hood to adjust the bezel size without hacking at an OEM one!!

I forget what printer you ended up picking up. Something on the cheaper side I assume?

Yes I remember now, ha. Yeah I think you wanted in for cheap and then started having some issues if I recall. Maybe not, hopefully I didn't send you down the wrong path.

If anything just get any Bambu Labs printer. A much better printing experience.

Found 3D scans of Nav?

I've been thinking the same exact thing but instead I wanted to get a model of the clip in bit, so that I can model it in CAD and slowly stretch the borders out to accommodate those screens, shaving off lets say, 3cm each side to fit a 9inch screen and print a model to prototype instead of cutting up the OEM plastic.

Have you managed to find these files? If not then I guess I'll just have to 3D scan myself and post here next year when I have time

if I ever call you, I would instantly hate you. Microphone on the vent, that said, is that a loose mount for the display near the 12V port or 3D printer and what’s the display size?

That black sponge around the MIC is there to fight exactly that. Also known as an anti-peh/anti pop filter. The smaller screen is mounted with long plastic spacers... this was years ago and I keep telling myself one day I'll make a nicer mount. I know how, I have a spare ashtray, I have a $1000 3D printer, just can't bring myself to do it.
