Okay so i had some time to print the rings, and other than a mesh issue i had with the mirror surround, which i think i can fix.. these came out perfect and fit snug almost as if they were made to fit together... now if only we had files of the buttons with graphics...i could print those as well...
hint hint....

OK string you have my interest. What do you have up your sleeve?
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Man , that is just fantastic , I am more than happy to see these files put to use . The sole intention was to make the info available to all as an aid to completing an aspect of there car.
To clarify - these drawings are drawn to an accuracy 1/10th millimeter (0.1mm) , so if converting to imperial it would need to be to the 1000th of an inch.
Other than that , these files were supposed to keep people busy over the Christmas period - gonna have to roll out the big one now....... ::tongue
Oooh , Red leather.

i have silver plastic as well and tomorrow i will be printing the ring files that go along with this bracket part.
this is very exciting stuff, String has brought things up a significant notch with his files and i am looking forward to trying out several on the printer to see how they turn out.

A very good part for a 3D printer since it's internal and isn't seen but can also be printed thick enough that it'll accept daily use.  It would be nice to find something as a donor for the chrome ring that sits in each of the switch openings.

I printed out this bracket tonight on my 3D printer, it took about 2 hours, but it came out very nice.
many thanks to String who provided the original files here.
there was a small issue converting, but that seems to always be the case when converting to a STL type file for printing.

Hello all, just claiming a little spot for my build diary area
Armitage is the name i had chosen quite some time before i ever started this build and as i progress, the name has stayed with it so, thats what it is.
i will add as i can, as soon as i can.
