Does anyone know a good source to get this printed for an NA? My build plate isn't big enough to do it and shapeways price was way up there when I checked.

There is at least 10 free applications that lets you split a model into several pieces.

I'm curious, does the NA dash not have room for gauges on either side? I'm deleting my speedo (got GPS) but still want fuel level and oil temp gauges.

It does, you can keep both.

And just to be sure, the NB 3d files will NOT fit an NA car correct? The filenames are slightly misleading in that they start with "universal"...

Those are great contributions Barton! For a few of the kits I have made I have been using a 90-0ohm fuel gauge. It seems to read pretty accurate.

I updated the Thingiverse page with parts for the NB as well. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2252864

That is correct. If you hover over the name on the download link it says the whole file name. I'll do some cleaning up of these when I get the time. The NA design does have room on each side for gauges. Are you thinking about 52mm ones?

That design is outdated. Please use the new one.

Does anyone happen to have the file for this still?

did you end up doing the battery setup with PiSugar?

The interior of a car can get hot enough to warp standard PLA. If you have a pretty typical printer that won't handle more exotic materials PETG would be a decent option.

I did mine in PETG but be careful as PETG tends to expand a bit more and the holes on the drawing have the bolt holes too tight. My top ones won’t fit. This is better printed in ASA if you are in a hot climate like south Florida.

That sounds like a tuning or modeling issue.

I haven't worked with ASA but it has similar properties to ABS when printing. Without a temperature controlled enclosure something this large and flat will warp into a banana.

Thanks I can do PETG.
