    Hey Tacoma world,
    Here is a custom overhead switch panel I made that replaces the sunglass holder on my second gen. I 3D modeled then printed the part, sanded it, and hit it with some paint and clear coat. I have three rocker style switches installed and a voltmeter but the electronics can be exchanged for anything else that fits.

    Heres a link to where you can buy one:

    Here's a link to where you can buy the .stl file if your like to print your own:

    That's a pretty good color match to the OEM plastic, nice job

    That might just be the best looking 3d printed part that doesn't look like a 3d printed part.

    Looks good. Why not just model in the openings so you don't have to cut anything? Also, you could use heat set inserts for anything that needs to be bolted in.

    I still havent fully decided on a price yet, but a ballpark for a finished part WITHOUT any electronics installed I would say around $70 and with electronics around $100. I plan on doing a run of these parts in the near future, if you'd like to get your name on the list send me your email.
