Hey all!
I'm back experimenting with 3D printing and our cars after some much needed chill time. I was wondering, would there be any interest in this door-mounted gauge pod mount? It bolts-in to the factory hole, has all the required notches for the factory wires, as well as a hole in the back to run your gauge's wires through the door trim. It is made from ABS and will be polished. The infill is not yet determined. I'm thinking it will be varied-infill, where some of the part is 100% and some of it will be 50%. Still plenty strong.
At first I really wanted this to be an affordable item but COVID has ruined 3D printing. It has made it impossible to find filament, and when you find it, it's stupid expensive. If you're interested in the part, let me know. The price is looking to be around $65 USD shipped. I know, I know, for one gauge mount? But imagine flexing on everyone at the car meet when you swing open your door to display your dropping oil pressure!
Since the prototyping and printing of these guys is so expensive, this is kind-of just an interest thread to see how many people are interested in this. What would help even more is if you're interested to place an order, then place it! I could likely have the first batch of these guys out by the end of next week, possibly earlier.
