3D - scanned parts library
Posted: Mon 09.11.2026, 23:33Hi all,
Wanted to start up a post to document some things while I take up this new hobby of 3D scanning. The intent is to share with the community the things I've scanned and make them accessible through Thingiverse. The main goal would be more for those who'd want to get exact measurements and/or download a basic 3D model of the things I scan. This way it would make it way more convenient to tweak the components to do something else (i.e. looking at the ashtray insert hole & it's backplate to get specs and create something else for that area).
Only have one item so far but hope to have other smaller interior parts shortly (forgive me I'm new and learning all of this as I go). If you need the dashboard screw cap covers that are middle dash, you can grab the files from my new Thingiverse library located here: THINGIVERSE LINK
Currently Claude is helping me decipher a scan I made of my dashboard and providing me with a fitted tablet shroud to cover over my vents/radio. It's a one off for the tablet I used, but the overall shroud could be modified by others. Doing some test pieces prior to a full build so the shroud fits perfectly, this is both fascinating and frustrating at the same time.
So I hope in the future add more 3D scans to Thingiverse as well as update here so you all can grab them if need be. If anyone else would like to help contribute to any 3D scanned pieces, I welcome your input and sharing here. Till then, take care everyone!
