LGTTusch Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Discojon, have you printed your cubby replacement yet? I'm curious to see what the final fitment looks like. I was playing around with your blank piece to see if I could work it as a tablet (more likely phone) mount as opposed to the traditional tablet mount using the jdm piece. Only bitch is I'd be held to a much smaller screen than the 7" tablets used now. **Edit, I stopped being an idiot and saw the many posts you have showing printed parts...** Edited March 21, 2017 by LGTTusch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000_LegacyOutback Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Printed the dash pod couple days ago and it looks great! The accessport ball is slightly to large but it still works great Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Looks clean! Mine came out a little rough... keeping the door, and now the clock won't sit flush. Of course I cut up some old abs off a truck bed liner, and haven't the access to a coolkid 3d printer.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly going to use mine to prototype some car parts and to fix my RC stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squid372 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 can anyone help me with the autocad files for RHD vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Glad to see the pod is working for people. I actually haven't printed the redesigned pod yet. That's the one posted to thingiverse, and had the 3mm pins to hold mounting tabs in. Glad to see it actually works Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-3-2-4 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I wonder if anyone could model the inserts for the cup holder area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oODanKNesSOo Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I wonder if anyone could model the inserts for the cup holder area? I used one of the air freshoners that plug in to the vent, dremmeled it down to fit into the area the ball/swivel goes on the stock little holder that comes with the AP... A zip tie to snug it up in the vent- no fancy printing required! Although, I'd definitely be printing if I had the means!!

LGTTusch Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I am seriously considering modeling up a honeycomb mesh that once a stock grill is cutout is a drop in piece... Don't know if it'll be worth it but I want to try it to say I did haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it'll be worth it but I want to try it to say I did haha Do it! I'd have to print it in at least 3 parts, probably more like 6 (2 high x 4 wide), but I'll totally try it out.

utc_pyro Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2353034 Designed an LED bulb adapter for wagon reverse lights. May work on the sedan as well, but I haven't looked to see if the mounting base is the same. This will let you use the CREE "20W" T15 led bulbs that look like aftermarket LED headlights. These actually run at ~10W each, but are a hell of a lot brighter than the stock bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been kicking around the idea of making an adapter to stick my disused OPT7 LED's in my reverse lights, lol. They're questionably useful in the low beams, but they could be hilarious as reverse lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're questionably useful in the low beams, but they could be hilarious as reverse lights. Hey, they make HID based reverse lights so why not? These are basically the same thing as most aftermerket LED headlight bulbs. Absolutely useless for that application. But in a reverse light where the OEM bulb is only 18W and you only need to see 20ft they may just work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utc_pyro Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) On the reverse light bulb adapter above. Here is the final product: Had to change a few things with it using epoxy and cutting, but the fixed version is up on thingiverse. Here is it installed on the car, it's the passenger side bulb: Subjectively it's brighter than the Philips 921 bulb in the driver side, and it's a slightly higher color temperature. "20W" T15 bulb only Philips bulb only I didn't take my light meter out and test, but it looks like the philips bulb is actually throwing the light further, while there is more of it to work with on the "20w" bulb. This seems to indicate that the bulb is too far in the housing. Need to print an "adjustable" version and find out.

I designed it to be a tight slip fit. You may need to sand the inside of the bores if your printer isn't calibrated. The solid models are there for you to modify if you need to.
