Back to it. I designed and printed the rear speaker bar/dome light for the interior. Turned out pretty good. It houses two 20mm speakers and a 3mm led light. The speakers and led are all wired up and work great. It's crazy how it actually sounds like stereo quality sound. Too bad all the windows will be closed and I won't hear it from inside. Next I'm going to figure out how to do the license plate light. It would definitely be missing if I didn't add it. |

I've figured out how to add a license plate light. I used some 2mm fiber optic that leads to a 3mm led. I'm going to start using fiber optic more.. it's a great solution for tight spaces. |

I'm still at it. In the process of moving/home construction and it's taking all my time. The rig is essentially finished.. just some carpeting and some final details: wipers, detail paint. That's all the interior panels mounted and wired, all the windows glued in place. It weighs a lot. Having trouble figuring out how to carpet the interior.. so many angles and corners. |

I've also painted all the light lenses... the rear brake/signal lenses were actually really tricky. I taped them off and sprayed them, making sure to get the black border in and keep the reverse light area clear. I dont have pictures yet, but all the lenses are glued in place and all the lights work. Front/rear directionals, reverse, park and brake. |

Great design work on those prints! That could make you a money on Shapeways if you ever decide to go that route... |

Where do you source the fiber optic cable?

It looks the part for sure. I need to figure out how to do multiple quotes in one post.. Thanks for all the kind words guys. I was worried this thread was too long abandoned. I do have a shapeways store, but I haven't put my designs in yet. Soon! | |
