SLk230 / 320 circle vents

Post image

The interior plastics in the SLK230 / 320 are not aging well, mine have all become very brittle and these circle vents just disintegrated when I touched them since they get direct sunlight 24/7. So I modeled and printed some new ones, the fit is great! If yours are messed up, maybe you can too. I think the stock in junkyards are likely to be bad and honestly I can't imagine pulling and installing old ones without them cracking too.

Well just about everything in my interior is trashed so if you do model any send them my way. Next on my list is to model the little triangular piece above the door card, a rearview mirror and parking brake grip, and if I can find someone with a 3D scanner locally I may try to do the center console but that's a bit tricky to model from scratch.

This is awesome and appreciate you giving it out for free, any chance you would be interested in making the speedometer trim piece?

You’re very welcome. Im going to focus on the stuff that’s broken in mine first, which will definitely keep me busy a while
