Description

My dash's mounting area decided to fall apart, so I made this simple repair patch that holds the dash in place and allows the headlight switch to function. I figured someone else may find it helpful, so I'm posting it here. You'll need to trim the piece to match the remaining intact portion of your dash. Once you do, it should have the correct spacing to keep everything in place. I used JB-Weld Plastic Weld on both sides to secure mine to the remaining plastic, and propped the dash up and clamped the plate in place until it cured.

Settings used on my Ender 3 V2:
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Material: PLA
Infill: 100%
Resolution: 0.28mm

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.
