Description
once cleaned, this new design snaps in place with a satisfying click and should stay there.
Hi!
these are models for the holes on the dash of a 1979-1983 Datsun 280zx, next to the defrost vents, where the screws that hold the dash are.
They are a direct, measure by measure reproduction of the real ones.
They fit right in, I've tried them. I don't know how I'd get them out, the clips would probably break when you`d pry them, but then, you can print more!
I've printed them face down, and they print good, even the little clips' overhang. The only issue is that there is a step on the top part, where the middle is higher than the surroundings; that prints badly because it's trying to print a 3mm horizontal overhang. It looks weird when you look at it from close by, but from a foot or two away it just looks like texture in the plastic which in the end is pretty ok! Maybe if it's be printed right side up, but then, you'd need a ton of supports for everything, since it's just like a table with 2 legs that touch, and two that don't even touch the floor (the little cones that locate the cap in the hole).
***Quick note, mine are in black PLA, and have warped afew a week or two in the sun... it's not bad, it just makes them loose. no problem taking them out anymore, but they have a slight curve to them now.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $21.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $21.50 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $23.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $22.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $26.00 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $26.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $28.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
