How to make 3d printed car parts - Auxbeam switch panel

Рет қаралды 245,149

Күн бұрын

I designed, 3d printed, sanded, painted and installed an OEM+ quality trim to mount an Auxbeam 8 gang control panel into my Nissan Frontier. Production is still a while away on these but I do have 3d files ready for download if you want to make it yourself.

Great idea splitting the design so the tabs are seperate. So much quicker and easier to replace if required.

Exactly! The support material was giving me issues on the main body too, so it was a win-win

Give XTC-3D a shot for coating, works like a charm and sands easily while adding strength to the parts! (might work out to be overall cheaper than JB weld as well)

@EndMotive Жыл бұрын

Yeah the jb weld was a first test, it was a bad idea lol. Regular body filler is pretty easy to sand and works great, however you are probably right that the xtc-3d would likely add some strength!

@EndMotive a ton!! Let's see here, overhead console is trash often. Also, many people want to move to 08 superduty doors, dash, etc, but the rear doors of an f350 are like 5 inches to narrow versus the excursion. There's conversion kits for everything else.

@208RedNeck Жыл бұрын

A lot of parts are pretty easily swappable with the f250/350 models, but if it is excursion specific, it's harder than hell finding parts unless they are being scrapped.

Wow, that paint and texture looked like a factory piece when I saw it on the rag as you assembled it (still waiting to see in the car on the video), but damn that's looking good so far!!! EDIT: And holy crap!!! That looks amazing!! Did you use the textured paint to get that finish? How did you get that factory texture finish?? I wonder if there is a way to get that in Fusion or something and add that to the print. Just tiny "bumps" to match factory, so your print detail would have to be super fine. but would be awesome to print factory style finished parts!

@EndMotive Жыл бұрын

Thank you, I have played around with trying to add texture into the 3d model but have had very limited success. The texture was added with the SEM texture spray, it works great!

@risebad Жыл бұрын

Turned out great! Did you scan the part it clips onto to help with the design? Or did you just take measurements and go trial and error until it fit before designing the rest of it?

@EndMotive Жыл бұрын

I just used the scan data of the part and that was enough to make the clips pretty close and then did a test fit and made adjustments. Second print was perfect.

@BLBlackDragon 5 ай бұрын

Excellent work. Thank you for sharing the materials list. I wouldn't have had any idea about the texture spray. Quick question, how thick (in mm) did you make the walls of your part? I'm planning a dashboard-mounted panel, and an wondering how thick I should plan, to make things feel sturdy. (I'm leaning towards 5mm, but I also know I tend to over-engineer parts)

@EndMotive 5 ай бұрын

Hey! This part was most a "block" in design and didn't have very many walls. I have since redesigned this part and it is closer to 2mm wall thickness in most areas, but it will be printed out of pa12 nylon. With abs I usually shoot for 2-4mm thickness though.

@Viperlover-cw2qx Жыл бұрын

Do you print and finish everything yourself for your etsy shop? Or do you print and prototype and then outsource it? Just wondering cause I'm really interested in trying to 3d print some ideas of mine and try to sell them. Really amazing work btw!

@EndMotive Жыл бұрын

I do not outsource any of my products currently, not that I am against it by any means. I have actually tried to minimize the amount of parts that need extra steps after printing. Sanding and painting are very time intensive processes that totally kill my margin.

@DerJohii Жыл бұрын

Some years ago I also made some car accessories like a radio cover and some can holders with different materials. I spent days of sanding, priming, and painting the parts. Over the years they all bent by the influence of the elements (heat, cold and humidity). It was a very painful experience. I hope it won't happen to you! Edit: the materials I used were mostly PETG and ABS, but also some in PLA. All the materials behaved the same way!
