You mean a Flat Plate where the Radio would go?
I don't know which ones you mean. Please send a picture or a description so I can go and take a look at it on my ZJ's
It looks like Id have to mostly disassemble my dash to get to them but if I get down in the footwell of the driver side and i look in the small gap between the floor and the center stack I can see a couple plastic linkages that try and move with the mode selection. Ill try and get a pic or 2 tonight.
Unfortunately i cant make a modell from something i cannot measure off from. And since i dont own a 5speed ZJ, the shifter boot is a rather low priority... with good picutres from all sides and some additional information, i am sure i can make one... but i cannot if i only have the AUomatic shifters laying around
yup, efan shroud
@98JZLaredo4.0 dang, that would require me to disassemble mine and I am scared to death to do that since mine looks great except one of the "tangs" that hold it to the console is missing. the leather is attached with fabric staples which I can see when I flip it over.
Make pictures from the side(Passenger and Driver), Straight from the top in Neutral, And if you find some pjctures online from how it is mounted…
This is great - thanks for doing this. Are you planning to partition the models so they can be printed on a smaller bed? I personally have a 300x300mm print bed (many folks have even smaller print beds) but I suspect the hood vents would exceed these dimensions. Thus, I guess getting them printed commercially would be required (or get a new printer...)
Ah, good question. In my case yes, I can since I have 400 mm of print height. I think it would likely need some supports added - a hood vent printed on edge would be pretty unstable I think...

Didnt see the latest answers until now... yes i will make them fit a 200x200x200 printer, but also keep them one pieced, since i upload .step, you could also edit the modell yourself...
Good Idea since 90% of printers have more print height, but printing would require a bit of support for good bed adhesion, and also the stability of the whole part would suffer, because the layers are the weak point and all layers being rather thin but wide means it would probably crack during installation on the hood or from cold hot stress. Ridicolous that these Hood vents are being secured by 6 big screws... overkill...but at least you dont run the risk of messing up a thread and having the whole piece loose...
I haven't any personal experience, but some of the stuff I watch on YouTube has a lot of info about 3D printing, and vertical seems to be the way to go. Yes, you need supports, but that's not a big deal and is very common. One of these days I'll get my hands on one and start playing around. They have gotten so affordable these days, but that still takes away from the car parts budget.
I own 3 Prusa MK3+ and a Prusa CL with all 5 Heads… i first got my hands on 3d Printing back in 2011… believe me, 90° vertical isnt a good idea…horizontal neither, since you would see the layers due to it being rather flat… but the rigidity would be drasticaly higher… best would be a 60-70° angle from horizontal, this way, it would create a bigger layer surface and still look decent, may require some Support for a good base, but the upper 80% could be printed without supports, which by the way always mean sanding will be necessary… unless you go raw look…
