Description

Tired of the OEM Rear Ash Tray breaking and giving BMW $80 for an entire unit. Well look no further! You can print yourself a new ashtray in a matter of hours with 30g of filament.


EDIT: Solidworks File has been uploaded to Files

Quick YT Short on how to seperate once removed from vehicle:
1) Remove two plastic phillips screw clips (will only unfasten so far and then you will pull straight up)
2) pull ashtray away from center console slowly
3) unplug light
4) threw will be 2 clips on either side of ashtray that require seperation shown in YT Video
5) assembly is reverse

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.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$42.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$43.50General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$50.00Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$48.00Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$60.50Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$60.00Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$69.00Filled 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.
