Mercedes W114/115 Power Window Switch Bezel/Plate

thingiverse

This is my attempt at modeling the center console bezel/panel/plate/mount that holds the power window switches in the '68-'76 Mercedes W114 & W115 cars. This part is NLA new, difficult to find used and frequently broken or cracked like mine was. While it's not perfectly accurate -- the curves on the side edges is a little off, and it doesn't have the pebble-grain texture of the original because the texturing is beyond my skillset right now -- I've removed the "work-in-progress" tag because it's good enough for my purposes and I'm not going to refine it farther. Feel free to run with this. Be gentle, this is my first 3D model based on an actual object and created from scratch, and I'm also a complete n00b at Fusion 360. Model is upside down, the "bottom" is the visible surface. Printing with the "bottom" up will give a better finish on the visible areas, but will require a lot of support material. W114_Window_Switch_Bezel.zip file contains STL, STEP and F3D formats, the v3 .zip is a version allowing the main panel and legs to be printed separately, which reduces the amount of support material needed to print with the visible side of the panel on top instead of on the print bed.
