Description
It doesn't use a metal frame, the radio is put in the frame and then the entire thing is mounted in the car. No screws used, But it tend to bow out at the bottom end, but I might have a fix for that soon.
Edit: Added a lock that slips on the DC outlet behind the panel. Swivel it out behind the panel and tighten the nut on the DC outlet to lock everything together.
The volt meter is a small module, can't fin the exact same anymore but there are very similar looking on eBay, I hope they work. If you use thin wires make sure to add an inline fuse on + so the wires don't catch fire if they short out, or just use solder in some thicker wire.
Update 2021: I have uploaded a model with 2 holes for outlets or compatible modules like phone chargers or volt meters.
The DC outlet is from a local store, but I saw some on eBay looking exactly the same. It had a cover saying "MARINE 12V" ond the text "LOCK POINT" on the outside of the plug.
The stereo name is 7018B and is a really cheap 2 DIN model, if you want to use another stereo make sure it have the right mounting holes and actually fit the frame (check out cad link below).

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 | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | 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.
