8 Mars - Updated with version 3 - Code name "Buttons" Could one ever have too many buttons? Answer: No! Anyway, I needed more buttons and wanted some speakers up there as well. To accommodate any future changes, thoughts, or ideas, I decided to break it up into three parts. That way, it's easier and faster to print only the part that needs a change. I'm not entirely satisfied with the latest files (some fixes are needed), so they're marked Beta for now. I will set the Tinkercad files to public as well if anyone wants to modify them for their own use. Buttons are still 20mm in diameter. I did make the holes in the four-switch panel slightly larger this time, and the switches aren't final yet. I've so far wired switches for the console on permanent or via ignition. The microphone switch is between the radios, the 10-meter amplifier remote is on, and the reverse light is permanently on or via reverse sense. The last two switches will be for my future antenna tilt mounts (still waiting for electric motors to arrive). Then that project will be up here too. I wanted a way to mount my 10-meter/CB radio out of sight in my car, so I figured the best place would be in the ceiling where the blank cover for the optional sunglasses compartment is located. So I made this. I also wanted to add another radio front panel and a few switches, so there are two (currently) versions as well as a Tinkercad link for those who want to modify it to suit their own needs. Switches are 20mm in diameter; they're a tight fit, so I made the holes 19.5mm. I've also modified my radio to have the microphone connected out the rear, as well as a rotary encoder channel selector and built-in RB (in case someone asks about the extra knob on the front where the mic cord originally comes out). Some thoughts... Find a way to reroute condensed water from inside the roof so it doesn't drop down onto the radio. I've added a bent plastic sheet in my installation. Since I wanted it to be as difficult as possible to steal, I have no spring tabs on the side holding it. So you need to take the light dome down and install the radio first, sliding it towards the rear; it makes a tight fit. Then install back the light. Remember, it will be hard to get it out once it's installed, so double-check your wirings and test everything before snapping the light back! Have fun and post makes or share your own creations! 73 TinkerCad: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/bg9Ya811Nv0
