Hello!

Greets! Are you able to help? Do you have a 3/d printer that will be big enough?

Looks like it's ~200mm x 165mm right?

I can theoretically do 212 x 188 according to my configuration but I would have to check to see if I guesstimated those values the last time I upgraded my printer size. No matter which way I print it, supports would be needed which means there will be imperfect surfaces where they meet. I'm guessing that's ok since it will be screwed down with the bottom always hidden? I have water soluble filament which could work but it's really expensive and I haven't tried it on such a large surface area.

It looks like you already got it printed in the picture on grabcad? Or is that a PLA test print?

What's the overall plan with this? Print a one off for yourself? Selling them? Lot's of questions lol.

I'm needing a 1-off for my own vehicle. The gentleman I had previously bought 3D printed parts for my VX from does not have a printer large enough to do this piece. I do not know the person whose work this is.

Yes, this will be on the underside of a console lid, so not very visible. I don't know what the supports would look like, but if they are on the convex side of this piece, it will further minimize anything visible. In any event, the intent is to replace the broken piece which is currently barely attached to the console.

Ohhhh I see. I thought this was your design you uploaded. You mentioned colors. Would you want something other than black?

The supports just means that the next layer or so wouldn't be perfect. Sometimes it'l look stringy or have bumps/pieces that may need to be cut away/sanded a bit if they impede fitment.

I would prefer purple if possible, but I understand if that's too complex.

I can sand if needed. Again though, if there's a difference in finish between sides, the convex side will be hidden, so having the imperfections on that side will be preferred.
