How to make 3d printed car parts – Auxbeam switch panel

I designed, 3d printed, sanded, painted and installed an OEM+ quality trim to mount an Auxbeam 8 gang control panel into my Nissan Frontier. Production is still a while away on these but I do have 3d files ready for download if you want to make it yourself.

    Wow cool projekt 👌



  6. Petr Pešek on October 12, 2023 at 1:39 am

    I know, it’s too late, but I would definitively rotate it a bit(approx. 30 deg.) to a driver’s side for better acces.15d

    Your cad skills are incredible man.

    Looking good. Amazing how some videos get huge numbers of views! Subscribed amd will catch up on some ofher videos. Im planning a roof console build in my 51 GMC.



  9. Drave on October 12, 2023 at 1:41 am

    Wish I could design stuff like this lol, I made a rectangle box and still had to cut parts down to fit 😅

    This is not a “how to”. I was hoping to learn more than what you provided.

    It’s a cool video and interested in the product. Definitely entertaining but not a how to as you didn’t directly teach me anything. So that’s a little misleading. Now if you titled it “I made a”, that would be a lot more accurate.

    Love everything about this. Best of luck with the sales!



  12. NKP Garage on October 12, 2023 at 1:44 am

    Very nice work!!! Amazing what can be done with at home 3d printing these days.



  13. Daniel Storeygard on October 12, 2023 at 1:44 am

    What is your etsy?



  14. pigseye2 on October 12, 2023 at 1:44 am

    Wow! Impressive. Looks great!



  15. The Grey Spectre on October 12, 2023 at 1:45 am

    Never thought about an JB Weld overlay. Might have to try that.



  16. Andrew Paskiewicz on October 12, 2023 at 1:46 am

    That looks really good! Thanks for the video documenting your process. 😊😊🔥🔥



  17. WP3JM on October 12, 2023 at 1:49 am

    Will this work with 22 Frontier?



  18. Magic Bloom on October 12, 2023 at 1:49 am

    Hi, am interested in a building a frame for 6gang Auxbeam, to fit underneath the ashtray. The car is a Toyota Hilux/VW Taro 1988-1997 model. Can you help me? Thank you

    Действительно нужное применение 3 д’принтера. 👏



  20. Colin McPhillips on October 12, 2023 at 1:50 am

    hey there, just came across this video a year & change after it was posted …. any word on production availability? Would love to get one of these!



  21. Adrian Galilea on October 12, 2023 at 1:50 am

    I just hope this is not PLA



  22. KTime94 on October 12, 2023 at 1:51 am

    What type of filler did you use to smooth the surface after the printing?



  23. Pablo Hernandez on October 12, 2023 at 1:51 am

    I need this done to a 2016 outlander to be able to mount a Kicker KX remote.



  24. Andrew Ahn on October 12, 2023 at 1:52 am

    seamless nice integration!



  25. admiralking on October 12, 2023 at 1:52 am

    Nice design and work!



  27. Smart Monkey on October 12, 2023 at 1:55 am

    Молодец, очень аккуратная работа! Привет из Владивостока😊



  28. booboo699254 on October 12, 2023 at 1:56 am

    That looks awesome! Minor comment, you said taller folks might have more interference… I would have thought a shorter driver can see better since the mirror would be angled down.



  29. 5f2 2f5 on October 12, 2023 at 2:00 am

    cool!



  30. HEXHound on October 12, 2023 at 2:02 am

    Very nice!



  31. Brian Hepler on October 12, 2023 at 2:04 am

    This really does show how 3D printing enables rapid prototypes and iterative development. Great job. Do you have a video on the 3d scanning with reference dots?



  32. Dodgy on October 12, 2023 at 2:08 am

    this is where truly 3d printing shines.



  33. Dan Turismo on October 12, 2023 at 2:10 am

    What primer and paint do you use to fill in layer lines?



  34. Al Amantea on October 12, 2023 at 2:11 am

    Excellent job!



  35. T0P10 on October 12, 2023 at 2:12 am

  38. HondaWyo on October 12, 2023 at 2:18 am

  39. Phillip P on October 12, 2023 at 2:19 am

    This could be a very lucrative business venture for you!



  40. Marty Mccord on October 12, 2023 at 2:19 am

    What filament are you using?



  41. TheEworks on October 12, 2023 at 2:21 am

    are you available for higher? ive got a similar idea, and a mirror housing i need 3d scanned and flipped so i can also use it on the left side. let me know if you are interested. im sure we can work something out



  42. Chris H on October 12, 2023 at 2:23 am

    WoW! incredible engineering. Truely a work of art!



  43. End Motive on October 12, 2023 at 2:23 am

  44. Pablo Hernandez on October 12, 2023 at 2:23 am

    Hi, how were you able to scan the dome panel into Fusion360?



  45. Fatman Overlanding on October 12, 2023 at 2:25 am

    Good work.



  46. Shane Dwyer on October 12, 2023 at 2:29 am

    Dang!!! I am in Boise. I would love to chop it up with you and see what we can come up with for Ford Excursions.



  47. Craig King on October 12, 2023 at 2:29 am

    What Material did you use to print this? and what 3D scanner and program are you using?



  48. Mike Harris on October 12, 2023 at 2:34 am

    Wow, that paint and texture looked like a factory piece when I saw it on the rag as you assembled it (still waiting to see in the car on the video), but damn that’s looking good so far!!!

    EDIT: And holy crap!!! That looks amazing!! Did you use the textured paint to get that finish? How did you get that factory texture finish?? I wonder if there is a way to get that in Fusion or something and add that to the print. Just tiny "bumps" to match factory, so your print detail would have to be super fine. but would be awesome to print factory style finished parts!



  49. r00t on October 12, 2023 at 2:34 am

    Nice work!



  50. ethan1627 on October 12, 2023 at 2:35 am
