Custom 3D print air vent support for throttle controller
Hi, when I got my car it had a throttle controller installed which was glued next to the boot switch. Not only I couldn`t see it properly but also I never liked the cable running and forcing between trims, therefore I decided to 3d print a new support and fit on my air vent.
All I had to do with the circuit board was change direction of wires and some little capacitor or whatever it was. In total I designed 3 supports, being the last one almost spot on that I only had to print it with better detail. I thought I would need to polish or paint but nah, I`m extremelly happy about the outcome, and it looks much better in person. Enjoy Last edited by Favato; 09-28-2022 at 04:06 AM. |

Or...
Save time and effort and remove the useless thing. There's a reason nobody runs them. |

Also it might also inspire others to do something similar to accommodate a gauge or whatever. But thanks for the input. PS Made this little screen out of epoxy resin, looks better now Last edited by Favato; 10-06-2022 at 03:51 AM. |
