Thought I would share this with ya folks
I quickly made this 3x52mm center guage pod up in sketchup as a first time project and it turned out quite decently, help yourself print one out and let me know how it goes !
mantis_toboggon.md on IG for more pics of my 1990 twotone s13 silvia rb25det swap (no pressure just throwing it out there ! :) ).
Heading out for a season of work soon and taking my silvia with me :) but no computer :( I work 16 hours a day 6-7 days a week so even if i did have one it wouldnt get used :P so I wont be able to make any revisions or changes to the Guages at this time, Hope ya folks enjoy ! Its a friction fit and the caps are included in the files on thingiverse. All I ask is for a thanks if it works and that no one sells them.
I cannot really control what you do but I figure share the love, make a few bring em to car meets if that's your thing pass em out to other 240sx s13 drivers ,just toss a bit of credit to old Mantis :)
BTW long time lurker of zilvia , first post :) I thought I would make it a decent one.
Take care folks , Hope everyone has an awesome spring-summer-fall!:2f2f:
Also , a reminder to block of your center heater vent with some foil tape like I did in the attached picture.
PLA likes to warp under direct constant heat, I don't think its quite hot enough to warp it but its better safe than sorry.
Edit: Hey folks just a heads up, after a few days in the hot sun the PLA warped, if you do print one, USE ABS , PETG , or possibly Nylon, PLA WILL warp in the sun. This was my first experiment with this type of thing so lesson learned ! :)
