Description

First off, it's been years since I've had original accessory gauge panel in hand, so this isn't a carbon copy of the OEM piece by any means. However, since wanting to revert back to an OEM Clarion sound system, I needed to move my VDO gauges down from the DIN slot, so I made this. It'll snap firmly into place, and after tweaking this all week, fit and finish is alright by my own standards.

The bottom wire cover, on the model that includes it, extends about 3" back. I included an stl that omits this, in case anyone prefers it that way.

(note- a painted and permanently installed pic is yet to come, weather doesn't permit at the time of this writing)

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.
