3d Printed Fiero Center Console Skeleton (Page 1/5)
windex42 DEC 27, 02:45 AM
Has anyone had trouble with the Radio/HVAC/Center Console skeleton falling apart?
I've re-created it in CAD, and I made the plans available for 3d printing.
I haven't considered selling a fully printed version yet, but I'm hoping a few of you can try printing your own and let me know how it goes.
You can find all the files you need on Thingiverse

I'm about 3/4 of the way finished printing it myself, and so far, it's coming out VERY nice.

Looks fantastic!

Which 3D printer are you using? I don't think my Cube 3D would be able to print that. 😁

If the skeleton was disassembled into its 3 pieces and digitized, it might be easier to print. Then the only pieces one would need to produce are the ones that are damaged. Also, the smaller pieces would be accommodated by smaller printers.

I'm guessing that your files were scanned from a complete skeleton, so it may be that some of the fastener holes would be missing and the 3 pieces would be bonded into one piece? I know nothing about 3D printing, so this may be a stupid statement and question.

i have a printer setup to print this but my biggest area is 16" so it would need to be cut into 3 versions. do you have the obj or other files not the stl files you cannot easily cut up a stl file.

That looks great, good job. This might actually be the thing that pushes me to get a 3d printer...

I printed this on a prusa i3 printer. It is about 9 x 8. The cube printer is a lot smaller, I can't imagine how many pieces you would have to break it into. A 16" printer would be amazing! Thingiverse has my STLs, if you want to edit obj files, you will have to do it through Fusion360. Theres a link to my project on thingiverse. That should give you what you need.

You just joined this month, this is your first thread with your only posts so far.....and you came in here with a BANG!!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for doing this project. It has been a plague for almost every Fiero owner.

Hello Windex42, next, could you please design and 3d print a lower intake manifold for 2.8-3.4 V6s that will adapt the aluminum heads to the Fiero Middle Intake Manifold? Thank you. This will be a very desirable part.

88Fingers,
You would probably want a part like that made out of Aluminum. Someone may have already created what you're looking for. Check this link on Thingiverse

If I every have mine apart, I can take a look at it though.
I also like the idea of keeping these separate rather than gluing them, but I can't think of a way to screw them all together.

Also, I'm printing the final piece right now, I'll throw up some photos later today.
