Summary

8/8/2024: 2x52 failed after 2 years, so I redrew the whole part for better durability.

8/14/2024: 3x52 has also received durability updates.

8/15/2024: ventOnly, blank, 1x52, and 1x60 have all received durability updates. 2x60 is the only one that has not. If someone comes across this and needs a 2x60 I'll update it, but for now I'm done updating this.

Replacement center vent for BMW e36 in the following configurations:

  • Blank plate
  • Vent only
  • 1 52mm gauge
  • 2 52mm gauges
  • 3 52mm gauges
  • 1 60mm gauge
  • 2 60mm gauges

I have only printed the 2 52mm gauge version. All of them should work, but I'm not positive on the 3 52mm gauge one. I used a ziptie on the shorter mounting tab to the screw hole on the top of the radio to pull the left end in a little, otherwise it sticks out a bit.

PLA will melt in the sun. I printed in PETG and finished it off with suede flocking and it's been fine.

There's a .3mf file in case edits need to be made. The model is pretty hacked together, but hey, it prints!

Thanks to https://www.thingiverse.com/vague_badger/designs for the original design that I based this off of.

If you're selling this on eBay and using my pictures without attribution, I don't like you.
