WTF RAND
Who doesn't. But put it in right right forum.
Dickwad name and they do more so go figure, but they are good people.
Thank god i didn't ask these bozos to name my business.

Self isolation making you go crazy or what.......

Dusty’14. No one makes what your asking. I talked about this with 914 Rubber a couple years ago. Quick answer was tooling cost would be $$$$$$$

Wow..

Wasn't there someone that made a nifty cupholder or cellphone holder out of an ashtray? Seems to me I saw this at one time, somewhere

Posted by: ConeDodger Apr 9 2020, 07:42 AM

There was. Mine holds my phone so I can use it as a navigator.

It was a limited 3D printed run though.

no, you can use the ashtray for coin storage, and if you need an ashtray and bracket we have at least 100 used ones here, hence they are "dirt" cheap

Dusty14 contact Just Dashes in Van Nuys, CA. They deleted the ashtray in my dash in a reconditioning.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3380 and @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=19881 - there were a couple of different approaches on this - I have the files for a great 3d-printed ashtray replacement that turned it into a magnetic phone mount if anyone is interested. It was originally done and posted here by @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=20837 - Or I can point you to Xometry.com where I had mine printed - they have the files.

Send it to @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3348 . He has a 3D printer now and could do another group buy.

Just because you get a free copy of a program doesn't mean you can print and sell.

In fact, I think I'll have one right now.

I had found the old thread on those 3D printed ones a few months ago and sent a message to the original creator/seller to try and get the STL file, but unfortunately never heard back. I'd love to have one of the cupholders!

You know they can deliver those meds straight to your house, don't you?

Posted by: Robarabian Apr 9 2020, 02:57 PM

Id be in for a group buy..

Here is the link to the 3d printing file. It is on Thingverse and I believe it is free. Print as many as you like. My printer is too small, so if someone prints one, Ill buy one...

Mine was 66.83 via Xometry.com - but i didn't shop around at all.

Posted by: Dusty’14 Apr 9 2020, 07:35 PM

Thanks! I’ll look into it!

Posted by: Mikey914 Apr 9 2020, 10:11 PM

I actually was asked to take over making the ashtray cup holders I have a commercial grade 3D printer and can easily make them. I had enough other goodies going on that I had not perused them. I just need to double check to make sure I have the specific permission to do so, but he did forward the files to me.
As far as a delete, I don’t get it. When it’s closed it’s not that noticeable.

Thanks! Going to print this for sure!

Getty Design makes a dah top without the ashtray cut out, but it's designed to convert the gauge pod to look like the 911 w/ 5 gauges.

Posted by: era vulgaris Apr 11 2020, 03:29 PM

Been a few years since I owned a 914, but I recall having issues with my fresh air fan control and I was able to access the control board and clean it by removing the ashtray from the dash and sticking my hand in there.
That would be one reason to leave the ashtray in place. Just a thought

I just printed one of the ashtrays in question. I have also completely re-drawn this in CAD so I can add/delete features. For instance, this particular design requires a particular phone holder that has 4 prongs. My phone holder only uses a single prong hook design to go over a single vent fin. So I have added that to the design.

I am open to any other ideas so this can work will many kinds of phone holders. or even add a cup holder in place of the ash tray.

Anyway, here are a couple pics of the print I made. They are a bit rough as it was the very first try. The second one looks a lot better.

If anyone wants one of these printed, I can print them for $50 + shipping. Just let me know.

Here is a cup holder that was made by a member here (bandjoey). It works great. The metal edge holds fast food cups so well that it will not even budge when burning the back roads. Photo has a stainless steel cup which is not ideal but what I had at home while sheltering to demonstrate. When the holder is closed you can barely see the modification. My dash also has a dash cap installed.

So, do you have a $20K 3D printer Mark? The program is in the public domain now, what you’d be paying for is the Printer and material you don’t have.

Posted by: sb914 May 7 2020, 05:09 PM

No ashtray and cup holder. When I drink alone,I prefer to be myself!!!

Posted by: porschetub May 7 2020, 05:18 PM

Yes they do,but in this instance I don't think normal meds would work,rather special case this one .
