Dash Din

thingiverse

Create dash din for new car radio installation with two din spaces that scale to meet your specific needs. When printing with PLA material, be aware that a spacer must be fabricated from the provided second file to prevent warping from occurring. While cost-effective and serving as a solid starter project, the quality is somewhat lacking. In addition, a DWG file is included for modifications if needed in the future. An updated one-piece file will be made available when time allows. *Note: Following extensive testing, even using the provided spacer failed to completely prevent warping. Attempting to relocate the piece did not solve the issue. Ultimately, it became apparent that the spacer required significant strengthening by making it thicker across all areas. To complete the project successfully: 1. First, scale down one file for a test bracket, utilizing millimeter to inch conversions is advisable to avoid wasting resources and materials. Ensure accurate measurements prior to printing a full-sized model. 2. Next, reduce files one and two in size for an optimal fit. 3. PLA printing will likely result in warping unless proper support is implemented; doubling the thickness of layers or using enhanced infill may help alleviate this issue but did not serve my requirements, so I opted instead to print file two on a second time at the precise dimensions needed for it to fill within the dash din space. 4. Assembly should then take place, ideally using a 3D printing pen to connect parts together (I decided against this so as to maintain some level of detachment); alternatively, epoxy could be utilized effectively in such an application.
