Tesla styled screen setup

+1 for Android Auto, but it's obviously it's going to depend on what phone everyone is using.

I had to take a step back and do some rethinking on it. I got a couple of quotes from different companies that can print in large scale. The prices ranged from $800 to nearly $2000. So I am trying to cut out excess material that isn't structurally needed now to lower my overall cost. That was way more than I wanted to pay for a prototype print.

could you make it sort of a skeleton? Just have a frame with all the moutning points. Worst case you could fiber glass that in after.

also for those numbers I would buy my own printer!

The skeleton is something I am looking into as well as reducing the total volume of the dash (thinning out the walls). I wish i could buy a 3d printer in that range. There are a lot of printers you can pick up for that price but to print somethint 14" x 14" x 5" in on go would be more in the range of $5,000+

hah yeah i just started looking them up and only the tiny ones are affordable. We have one somewhere here at work but I don't have access to it unfortunately. Maybe ask around on here to see if someone has access to one that is large enough.

Yeah I may have to do that. It's sad really I have a 3d printer not 20 feet from my desk but I am not allowed to use it either. Such a waste!

Try asking around at local schools. When I was in high school we had a bunch of equipment like laser cutters and such that students operated like a business. They'd make stuff for dirt cheap for anyone that asked, just to learn the skills. Also, the technology incubator I work in has a nice 3D printer and provides similar services. Just a thought.

OP - I don't mean to rain on your parade of printing a large scale one but why not do it in pieces and super-glue it together for the prototype?

smaller piece printing is relatively affordable and may help reach your end goal

Yeah thanks for the advice I will definitely look into schools in the area and see what I can come up with!

That is what I thought as well, so whenever I sent the dash out for quote with Shapeways and 3D Systems it ended up being either slightly higher or no change for 4 pieces vs 1 piece. I may have simply gone in the wrong format than they preffered too.

I will be posting a few more picks from my UI Designer tonight. Can't wait to hear what you all think of the layout so far!

Hey everyone I know it has been a while since I posted. But I did want to show something a little new when I did. And it seemed like I just kept showing a little of the same. So for those who have been following the progress on Instagram or Facebook you already know that the model is officially finished! Now we are gearing up for a trip to California!! Once we get back we will be proceeding with the 3d print.

We are still working with our UX designer and developers on the software side. As soon as we have our 3d print in hand we will begin the fun part of fitment (including sanding, body filling, more sanding and painting). We will use the current screen to test but are looking at cheaper solutions as well!

In the meantime I posted a short teaser animation of the final design to Youtube. Check it out and let me know what you all think!! And if you haven't already follow Valkyrie Systems on Facebook and Instagram!
