NNBS Gauge Pod for Cubby Hole - 3D Print
Www.etsy.com/shop/TB3DDESIGN
11/23/19 ... after a brief hiatus, I am back! May have figured out all the problems and ready to produce again.
Also look Etsy store for my NBS AC Vent pods!
Update2:
"Shipped" pricing:
$35 for Right Pod
$30 for Left Pod
Save $8 on shipping on a set
*****Everything below is OBSOLETE*****
Unless someone really wants to custom order one of the below pods for a specific reason, the standard pod is the one above.
Edit 12/24/2018: I will be offering 3 versions of the gauge pod ... angled/flush/recessed: $35 ea. shipped anywhere in the big ol' USA through USPS Priority. Can combine shipping for multiple orders.
I'm offering a limited quantity of these guage pods to fit in place of the little cubby hole that seems to collect trash; or just drops anything you put in there on hard launch.. Fits/snaps in like an OEM part and is totally reversible. Holds a standard 52mm/2-1/8" gauge and is angled towards driver.
I originally did this as a personal project. You can find the thread in the Performance Trucks Page on FaceBook where I first posted. FIrst preference is to those who convinced me to produce these for me.
Full Disclosure:
Each of these pods takes approximately 8 hrs to produce, between setup, print, and cleanup of support structure/etc. The parts are NOT show ready, they are typical for a 3D printed part (see pics) with the layers visible. I do not have a sophisticated/Pro printer and that's as best as I could get to balance time/quality for now. Maybe if there is enough demand, I will buy a better printer for it, but that is to be seen. These parts can be filled/sanded/painted to look OEM or left as is ... and you can talk about 3D printing with friends, lol
I have tested a version on my own truck, it fits like OEM; just pop your old cubby panel off and pop this in. The version in the pics is a 20°/15° but I have played with the design and got it up to 25° angled towards driver and 20° tilted up. This should give the best balance of space behind the dash and driver visibility.
I'm asking $35 shipped to anywhere in USA. It's too big for the small Priority mail box, so I have to go with the bigger box.
I will not ask for payment until each part is ready or in print, and will go down a list and update.
Also, If you want something printed on the blank space below the gauge bore, PM me and we can run through what's possible. I've played about with letters and holes for switches etc.

Here's the latest version and what I think I'll offer Primarily; unless someone asks for a certain design specifically.
Attachment 152382
Its partially recessed while also being tilted up towards the driver. This design I think looks much better while also reduces glare on the gauge face from the back window as it's not as extreme of an issue angle/tilt.

Now I offer options for both sides of the console. The left pod requires a bit of ingenuity by the customer to either use a few screws or glue it in ( it fits snug).
