Pontiac Fiero Center Console Skeleton

thingiverse

I've recreated the original Fiero Center Console Skeleton. It's almost identical to the original design, but since mine was damaged, I had to make some educated guesses about certain aspects. This version comes without pre-drilled holes, so you'll need to line everything up before drilling them yourself. I believe Pontiac took a similar approach with their original consoles, as the holes are rarely perfectly centered. To assemble it, I recommend printing each part separately and then gluing them together. I used PETG plastic for mine and plan to use PET glue from 3dgloop.com or Matterhackers, which offers this type of glue and has reasonable shipping rates. My print came out slightly imperfect due to PET stringing and supports, but it turned out okay. If your printer can handle printing with ABS or poly-carbonate, I think that would be a better option, as these materials tend to produce smoother results and are less prone to warping. Since my machine doesn't warp much, I opted for PET instead. If you're interested in exploring the design further, I've made the Fusion360 file available here: https://a360.co/2SpwqGU. Please be gentle with your critiques, as I'm still learning how to use this software. This model should fit comfortably on a Prusa i3 mk3 printer, but it might also work for similar printers after minor adjustments. I had to trim the radio piece slightly to get it to fit properly; both the trimmed and untrimmed versions are available. Keep an eye out for photos of my finished project as soon as possible. In the meantime, I made some tweaks to armrest parts 2a, 2b, 2c, and 3 to ensure a more secure fit between components. Based on my experience, I think ABS might be a better choice if you have an enclosed printing area that maintains a consistent temperature.
