I would just be careful about which filament you're printing with since PLA and similar plastics do not hold up well to hot interiors on a sunny day... As a separate note I'm a huge fan of the speedhut gauges, I have the speedo and tach in black/yellow for my early 944 and they look amazing
@@czhu1729 This is a good point I should’ve gone a bit more into detail about the types of materials you can use but I was mainly focused on the process as a whole. Thank you for this comment! I’m going to pin it so more people will see it.
That's amazing! I've been wanting to somehow swap my cluster for individual gauges but I have no idea how to make the individual gauges work , but this is a big help at least for try the setup.
@@artkapana the nice thing about a lot of these custom gauges is that they really only require ignition power and tapping in for the lights. Specific things like a tachometer can be tied into the ignition coil for the signal, and similar after market sensors can be installed for oil pressure/ coolant temperature etc. The next thing I need to try to teach myself is how to design a circuit board. If I can make an adapter that the factory plugs can plug into, with all the proper leads to feed the gauges that would be amazing. The only thing I need to come up with is a way to preserve things like the seatbelt warning, the parking brake/ idiot light, and a couple of other message lights within the cluster.
@@MongoMotors352 it’s a whole world in itself to dive into but the capability and materials available to print with now are just insane. It’s something worth exploring for sure!
@@nurtekin429 this is true I’m still trying to figure out a solution for this. I don’t want to lose the brake pad warning light. Or seatbelt light and parking brake light. The gauges do have warning lights for their respective info, such as temp and oil pressure and low voltage. They also have the option to add turn signals and brights in the custom gauges.

@@TakeFlightGarage That's amazing! Hopefully the 944 receives more love from the restomod world to help us creating adapters for the old plugs XD
Very interesting

Yes intresting. But you will lose the warning lichts and light indicators like turn signal?
