Description
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.
