Anyone made 3D Models of the 135i interior trim for 3D Printing?

NewlyWedMan · 10-19-2018, 04:31 PM

Looking to make some 3D prints of some interior pieces,
-Left/Right A/C vent trim
-Center A/C vent trim
-All center interior trim from the Control nob in front of the armrest to Radio/AC faceplates

Anyone ever attempted making 3D models of the trim?

Funny, I've been thinking about scanning the drivers air vent, modeling a useable airflow director to replace the slat vains, and then printing the new unit.

What are your plans for the printed stuff?

I would be very interested in this. The OEM ones are not that good at directing airflow.

Planning to prototype a round vent into our rectangular opening. May not even need to 3D print anything.

ideas about customizing interior pieces, just wondering if someone has had this idea before me and created 3D models to print off of
