Designing the Dash Vent and More Cleaning Up

Here showcases the dashboard vent that I modeled and printed for my dashboard. These are the defroster vents and I have in total 50% of one of them (shown above). It was a bit annoying to model as I had to assume most of the time, I could have just gotten the circle size and done my own pattern, but I wanted it to look factory. The completed piece in gray can be seen in the dashboard, unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the painted pieces before I inserted them into the dash. The other images above show the auxiliary gauges that are directly in front of the shifter. They were quite dirty, with dead bulbs, and disintegrating cable insulation. The insulation that was falling apart I removed and cleaned up the old candy wrappers, dirt, and sticky coins. Once that was done I set this stuff to the side as I still had some work to do in the interior before these went in. The next day though these were back in the car which can be seen in the end photos of the gallery above. Climate control also went in that day, which allowed me to start reading some pulse signals from the car ECU which can be read using electronic climate control.
