Well... not much happened, summer activities got in the way
I painted the side pods, not a best job but f*** it...
Recieved brass press-fit thread inserts and fitted them in
and test fitted on the car
It still needs a black paint inside, then they'll be finaly fitted
Another 3D printed prototype parts tested
Finished my sequential side markers with 3D printed trim
Back to the center console...
Decided to go with 1 cup holder.
3D printed, glued, welded, filled, sanded. I am finishing the paint these days, Same black with hologram glitter as the heater/Stereo console
The top ring will be machined from Aluminium to fit the rest of TT parts
Recieved the TT dash from UK version (I need the center part so it doesnt matter)
I planned to cut it and weld it to the Beetle part... bud there is like 10mm of soft foam on the outer side...
So I 3D scanned it and will print it from solid ABS...
3D scanning process
Got some measurements
Scanned and simplified mesh
Reverse engineered center part
Trying to design some overfenders but I am not really sure if I want to go this way. so just thumbnails
And this is how it looks now...
