Here's hoping! Stage 1 is working out the printer tolerance - which means printing a few off and seeing how lines up.

Some progress on integrated cage (size based on my SPH-DA120) & Testing a mount fixing same place as OEM. At this current stage, the mount fixing is only for the version WITH vents but plan on working it into the non vented version too somehow

This looks really good, great job! I've been desperate to get a tasteful double din install done since I bought my Z. Others have looked too DIY for my liking but this looks bang on with the vents. Are you planning to make the cad files available for sale or perhaps even selling completed units? I'm sure there's a few of us on here eager to do the same.
Looking forward to seeing updates

Yes, once finished I will upload the STL files and the 123D Design files to Thingiverse for people to download freely. I need to activate the tips thing in thingiverse, that way if people like it and wanna buy me a beer so to speak they can!cyrilsneer88 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 10:35 am This looks really good, great job!

If people wanted, I may also offer to print for them. I got some quotes from online services and they want close to £50 PER SIDE!!!!! (It's in 2 halves due to max printer build area).... crazy money!! I wouldn't charge that much at all. I reckon maybe £10 or something and then it's up to the buyer to do the finishing touches - eg vinyl wrap it, smooth it, sand it & paint it what ever they want.

It's definitely worth a beer or few! I'd be more interested in the latter option if possible...
will be keeping up with your progress with a hawk eye... Look forward to seeing it completed. Nice work again

I was planning on just cutting the vent back, however I discovered today after looking closer it's all metal frame So not too sure on plan yet BUT I'll be sure to document and update herecyrilsneer88 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2017 11:09 am It's definitely worth a beer or few!

Looking good! Well done for attempting this, I'd be interested in one for sure once you're at a stage where you're happy with it.

Thanks I'm getting there! I'm trying to make it a snug fit... so the "cage" is the right size for the Stereo's cage, I've yet to make some cut outs in the wall edges - I plan to do add those later so that when fitting the stereo's metal cage in , the tab things can be folded over so it can't just be yanked out! And as you may have seen I'm also trying to line up screw mounts too to use the 2 OEM screws the OEM Headunit is held by.

As I previously mentioned on Facebook
Seriously though, I'll be interested in having one ready printed by you when you've worked it all out.

Progress is looking good! The 2 parts shouldn't be too much of an issue, we could all just use a strong thin metal rod of some sort and glue/plastic weld it to the back edge before wrapping it for rigidity etc.
Enjoying following the process and watching you perfect it forum power

A little input time!! Branding or No branding!??
All of the "Markers" in the image are the cutouts or "non-committed" additions. By saving my design like this, means I have numerous options at the time of export. Eg I can quickly and easily export a vented or non-vented version, with or without extra USB mount hole and so on and so fourth.... But I'm curious if I should brand front of the unit with the Z4 lettering (exact same typeface as boot Z4 lettering). It would appear embossed. Again, I could quickly enough print with or without it, I'm just curious what people thought to the idea?
Regards
