L300 Digital Thermometer (from 3 pod gauge) [just need measurements!!!]

[sck_nogas]

As part of building the replacement 3D printed 3 pod gauge, I need a favor from ANYONE with a 3 gauge cluster (or just the digital thermometer, if only I still had it )...


I need to know the accurate (using calipers please) measurements in mm of the (lines in orange above)...

• Front Height
• Front Width
• Depth
• Height Offset of top screw
• Width Offset of top screw
• Height Offset of bottom screw
• Width Offset of bottom screw
• Height Offset of text on the front (both top and bottom)
• Width Offset of text on the front (both top and bottom)

Thanks!!!!

Turns out I took apart my cluster this afternoon to replace screen for the temperature gauge and have it all sitting out on my desk. I can get the measurements for you in the morning but if you need any other dimensions let me know.

Too cool!

Pictures with dimensions attached. The images are a bit skewed so it looks like some of the lines/dimensions are off but just ignore the image, the dimensions are accurate. A few notes:
- The transparent black front is actually a tiny bit smaller than the white back, but i dont think it changes anything on the fit inside
- I tried my best with the text, but I had to eyeball a few things, I think its pretty close
- The transparent black front part has a recessed edge on the right side. I called it out in the image with two different widths. Looking at the pod front casing, it doesn't match anything so I think thats just from the injection molding.
- On the white back part, there is a small feature on the top that slides along a rail in the casing to keep it centered. It matches the centerline of the two screw.
- The two screw standoffs on the back have different depths

• Front Height --> 73.5mm
• Front Width --> 77.5mm
• Depth from front to back (not including the screw standoff height) --> 44.5mm (not on the drawings)
  • Total Depth including screw standoff (Top Screw) --> 62mm
  • Total Depth including screw standoff (Bottom Screw) --> 59.5mm
• Height Offset of top screw --> 13.5mm from top
• Width Offset of top screw --> 40mm from left, 38mm from right
• Height Offset of bottom screw --> 7.5mm from bottom
• Width Offset of bottom screw --> on same line as top screw (40mm from left)
• Height Offset of text on the front (both top and bottom)
• Width Offset of text on the front (both top and bottom)

I'll probably have the entire gauge cluster torn down for the next few days so let me know if there is anything else you need.

PERFECT!!!!! Now to make sure it fits!!!

I'm allll for the expansion of this 3D printed part library @sck_nogas . I'm not of any help on this one though!

Hmmm, how about the curved bits? The bottom one is for the face/body screw tunnel. So will definitely need to make sure that is right!

I've eyeballed it a bit, but those could be crucial.

Also, do the length/diameter of the screw mounts look right?

Did not put in the side supports, but just taking your measurements and modeling

Curved Bits Attached! I also attached a photo of the cluster case. I did my best with the dimensions on the curves, I think they are close to exact. In my cluster the temp gauge is on the right, and from what I can tell, those curved bits don't match any feature of the case, the screw tunnels are only on the left and middle gauge. Maybe on the two gauge cluster there is a screw tunnel there? On my case the temp gauge doesn't fit in the middle bay and in the right bay its pretty clear all the way around and only mounts to the rail on the top.

The screw heights look right. I'm also happy to print out any models and try them in the stock cluster if you want.

Ahhh... I remember...



Because my 3D printer has a build volume of 250mm and the cluster is 262mm wide, I shrank it a bit. BUT the screw tunnel in the middle would then interfere with the the inclinometer. So, I moved it to the edge to fit and to hold the bottom corner better. (above version 0.30 did not fit the inclinometer and was too tall, below version 0.49, almost perfect [except maybe the thermometer])

I've got my old cluster here. And can compare and tweak as needed.
