Wow!  Beautiful!  But, I'm not ready to fork out $200 for just the fog lamp bezel.  Perhaps if it were a full instrument bezel w/the fog lamp bezel on it, and maybe with the switch.  But....  

Now, if we wanted to band together and buy it to have it 3D scanned and then printed.......

Was thinking the same thing Gary!
Still working on the Dash-speaker hole patch, hopefully drive the price down big-time.

Ron - Don't miss the related discussion here: http://bullnose-enthusiasts.12971.n8.nabble.com/NOS-radio-nameplate-XLS-expensive-td5037.html#a5067

And, was it you that sent me the measurements of the fog light bezel?  I need to look those up and try my hand at drawing it up in 3D.

Nope, don't have one to measure for ya.
But if we can get that one, I have two new sources of 3-D printing, one has the new HP printer with very durable plastic.....

I started a new thread on the topic of printing a fog light bezel, finding a switch, etc: http://bullnose-enthusiasts.12971.n8.nabble.com/Fog-Light-Bezel-Switch-etc-td5111.html.

Sounds like a plan, Ron.

Have the 3D printers improved in the two or three years since we started playing with printing things?  I ask because the fog light bezel is going to need to have very smooth and precise features, and last I knew the printers weren't that good.  Maybe they are now?

Also, don't miss Grumpin's "That Dash Patch sounds interesting" in WHYDTYTT.  Perhaps you want to put up pics in the Picture Gallery of the patch and how to get one, and then share a link with Grumpin?

I guess it is good, but I was really wondering if the precision had gotten better.  A few years ago I was reading that you needed to smooth the parts somewhat after printing.  Has it gotten better such that something like the fog light bezel might come out ready to paint?  Or will it still take some smoothing?

I have not had anything done yet with this process, but a buddy of mine is praising this new process up and down.
Will be interesting to try a bezel and see the results for ourselves.....
I believe a bezel will be far cheaper than a dash plate....Hence the perfect experiment.

The bottom photograph shows the chrome knob... looks like the ones used for ventilation controls.
