Custom Maverick Dial Covers DIY - 3D Printed

[Irvinec32]

UPDATE:

Ok, I made the video with the final dials here:





For the ring style covers, I used this file from thingiverse.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:590814
radio dial scale numbers 35mm (X) 35mm(Y) 8mm (Z)
temp dial scale numbers 58mm (X) 58mm (Y) 9mm (Z)

PM me if you are interested in ridge style that I used for the shifter dial



Original post:

Which one look better?
Will make a video later when I get the figment right. Two different colors. Hard to find a good match. Different styles for the radio/ac knobs.

I 3D printed these out with help from a co worker and using a ring file that I scaled from Thingiverse.

I think the Matte Brick Red looks slightly better than the Matte Orange. But I may change my mind later. haha

Looks good. Willing to share the .stl files?

They look great. I like the smooth. I think the smooth might need to be a little bit wider.

Funny you say wider. Because, I think the knobs come a little too small. They are definitely easier to dial with the larger ring around it. So, these are not just for looks but improve function as a bonus.

For the non-grooved ones, I modified files from Thingiverse. So those I will share once I determine the right mod specs (still fine tunning the numbers). For the shifter dial, a co worker helped create that one, so I don't want the file flying around without his permission and name attached to it.

Very nice design work.

I'd be having a hard time not being cheesy and using a temperature changing filament on the heater controls if I did this

Or glow in the dark filament

Nicely done!

Thank you

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - but how does one take the rubber off the shifter to make this fit? Or is it just a case of printing again and rescaling? I assumed the rubber had to come off, but the dial shifter part I printed at regular scale doesn’t fit.

I did not remove the rubber. This slides over the rubber.

Haha mine was too small printing it from the file. Weird

I’m getting my first 3D printer delivered tomorrow. Guess I found the first thing I should try to make

I like the look of those over the ones I got from Amazon. I did go with orange though.
