Description
While I was working on building my gutted 1995 Civic Hatch, I wanted to fill a hole on the dash, and as most 3D Printers do, checked Thingiverse to see if there was an item for that. To my surprise, there was.. kind of. I found the button blank for QB89Dragon, but it lacked 3 things for my application:
- A blank for where the defrost button should be.
- A smooth face.
- The ability to add a switch or button.
So I used his model, sliced it in half, mirrored the button face portion, and grafted it onto the insert section. Once I did that, I realized the edges between the button faces were not parallel, so I remodeled the button face, and smoothed out a hump on the top of the button while I was at it. Now the buttons fit *perfectly* and look great.
Only issue I found was the tabs that lock them into place are a bit difficult as a straight overhang. I might just need to lower the temp 5 degrees or so.
As originally stated by QB89Dragon, Use ABS or PETG or equivalent to prevent softening/warping at higher temperatures.

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.
