Dashboard Screw Cover
1976-1985 Mercedes-benz W123 W123
Description
This is a little clip on cover for the screws that hold the under dash in place. The surface of the cover in place is the base as it is made, so you'll have a shiny cover unless you can texture your print bed to match the car. Another option might be to heat a leather-look surface to a high enough temperature to soften the plastic - and press the made cover into it until it makes an impression. I used PLA for the covers, although if you're somewhere with half decent weather you might have softening problems in sunshine. The model relies on good layer adhesion so ABS might not be the best material. PET(G) might work well.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
