3D Print Upgrades, updated 24.08.2023

The initial chrome ring encircling the cockpit light appears somewhat mismatched with the interior aesthetics. In response, I undertook a process of reverse engineering to recreate the ring. Utilizing Fusion 360, I designed the ring and subsequently produced it through 3D printing in a sleek matte black finish. This adaptation harmonizes far more seamlessly with the darker tones of the interior ambiance.

The seat belt retainers on the left and right sides have an open top design, which often allows the belt to slip out. This design aspect was not to my liking. To address this issue, I took the initiative to create a straightforward solution using Fusion 360. By designing and 3D printing custom plugs, I've been able to easily secure the belts in place and prevent them from slipping out in the future.

An ongoing concern among the Microlino community pertains to the issue of screen mirroring at night through the front window. While Microlino is actively developing a remedy in the form of a glare shield, I have made available the download link for the 3D print STL files specifically for a glare shield. This way, you can quickly access and create the glare shield using a 3D printer. Simply click the link and proceed with the printing process to enhance your driving experience with improved nighttime visibility. I suggest opting for ABS when it comes to printing, as PLA and PETG might not provide sufficient heat resistance. This is particularly important for components like the glare shield in a car, as they can deform or warp when exposed to elevated temperatures.
