Dashboard Hole Plugs

[reaton]

For anyone looking for the plugs to fill dash voids, I found these plans to have them 3D printed. My brother-in-law will be making these in ABS plastic and I will follow up with how they fit. Just thought I would share.

Switch covers for the 1986 fj60 dash board by joorgawt

These are switch covers for the switch holes in the dashboard. You may need to scale +- a few percent depending on your printer settings. They should be snug and not wiggle when installed. Use a heat resistant filament.If you use these, please give feedback on the fit and what filament you...

Are these plugs to fill the switches below the ac and heat controls like in the photo. If so how did they fit for you?

He couldn’t get them to print right with ABS in his 3D printer. I was going to have him try in some other material, but he was in the middle of a move out of state so didn’t bug him. I need to follow up with him and see if they work.

Had one of them made today and they work great. A little snug if anything, makes for a solid fit. Used PLA

Nice. I will have to find someone to make me a couple.

Not sure if you can do other materials, but I've had PLA shrink dramatically when used in the cabin just from the heat of a sunny day.

Oh that is not good to hear. Actually used tough pla. Had it done at school for free and I think that is one of the few materials they have. Do you have any experience with tough pla?
