3D Printed Dash Bezels

So I had the idea (I'm sure someone else has already done it) to 3D print the dash bezel for the HVAC and radio controls in my Buick. Like everyone else I have a single DIN after market deck in the car and then you're left with a gaping hole, or a terrible looking plastic filler in hole. So why not take advantage of some of today's technology and have one of these 3D printed to make it look good with and aftermarket deck. So I got bored at work last week, created the 3D model, then brought it over to the new 3D printing cafe in town...It reminds me of an internet cafe in the 90's. Except with a row of 3D printers humming away making STUFF! I'm thinking ill have a trial one made to see how it goes. Once the finer details are sorted I would be happy to share the model, or have some made for anyone who is interested. Let me know what you think.

That was going to be my next project in this dpeartment. I have a digital dash in my Regal and as cool as that is I think it will be tough to make that speedo work with LS swap and 4L60 (without getting one of those super expensive mechanical speedo outputs). Making models is free, so maybe when I'm hurting for a project and don't have money ill make one up!

I actually had a gauge bezel modeled up in college cuz i thought i was going to have lots of money after school and build a really nice gauge cluster....RIIIIGHT!

The guys I was talking to about the printing have every material from that crappy brittle plastic that was used in the beginning to ABS, vinyl and some rubber. They also have (or claim) the largest 3D printer in North America. So i'm hoping they know their stuff! When I get one done ill let you all know how it turns out.
