Fresh 3D print (FDM ABS) of the lower console that Venom13132 scanned. Prior to cleaning with acetone/MEK and some filling, sanding, and paint.
Certainly looks like a center console. Nice work

Put me down for two of those! One for now and one for backup.
Would you be able to make one without the accessory buttons for a non-M? If so about how much would one cost? I love the look the shifter trim ring gives the interior.
Looks great! How long did it take you to make it?
I'm not familiar with 3D printing--is that as good of a finish as it can produce due to the nature of the process, or is that something that can be improved with tweaking?

Wow - looks amazing - if we can manage to color-match the existing interiors that would be incredible.
Hey guys .
So are these files able to be downloaded now that they have been tweaked?
I work for Rolls-Royce Corp (not the cars, that is BMW) so cant really contract out. I can moonlight a little on my own time. I do know an individual that has his own scanner and runs a private business with it. No idea what his rates are.
the files have been on GrabCad for some time now.
I know almost nothing about 3d printing or CNC machining, so this is probably a dumb question, but... Would it be possible to take the files produced from scanning and use a CNC mill? Rather than printing?
What about printing (or milling) a high-res master, then finding a shop that can take that and do a run of conventional injection molded units?

This can be done, as I can just make the mold negatives digitally from the stl file, and have someone modify the negatives into injection mold tooling, but this will realistically need to be a crowd funding effort as it will probably cost $5000-$10000 at least to get a production run going for this part. The upside is that we would have cheap consoles and would be able to see if this is a great method of reproducing NLA and/or expensive plastic bits for long-term ownership purposes.
