Well, after untold hours learning Fusion and getting it to do what I want, here is the final version of the centre console system I have been building for way too long.

Guts of it are the auto heat system, 3D printing matching holders for the AC temp and AC fan controls along with the inlet air for the little fan that senses interior temperature.

I had to disassemble the whole auto heat system and relocate the servo to behind this console, it connects to the original wires to the heater boxes via a custom Bowden cable

Build also includes a place for the PCCM box that allows you to connect your phone, a cubby hole to hold the phone and whatever else the wife wants to put there, a 7 light display with all the warning lights for the brake system (fluid low, circuit pressure mismatch and park brake), plus windshield washer fluid low, oil cooler fan indicator and check engine light from the Motec.

...that and the hazard, rear window defogger, electric antenna lift switch and the alarm system switch...well, it took a lot longer than I thought.

I printed in ABS and was distressed that the print quality varied with some warpage taking place on my previous "final" print. I added some mouse ears to hold it down a bit better, plus did a little redesign to eliminate the long runs on the thin bottom strip that was separating from the bed and warping.

Total parts count was 4 including the cubby and bottom plate currently in PLA with the ABS versions about to be printed.





Still lots to do, designing and printing the gubbins that align the rotary AC switches to the correct orientation and provide the "click", printing new labels that read right on the backlit switches and of course the knee pad centre piece that I am trying to design and print right now.

Then its cover the green part in the proper vinyl and putting it all together.

Love the Bambu, it's been very good and the AMS is definitely a must have, makes life so easy.

Bambu studio is a bit of a bear, but it's OK....Fusion is certainly not for the faint of heart, but I am getting there.

Take care all!
