3D printed ECU cases

[mattgreenworks]

Working on some 3d printed cases for all the TVR black boxes. I'm sure I will come to regret it as I bet the TVR ones where design to rattle and have giant holes in for a reason. But I thought this is a nice little side quest. Started with the steering module now. I took part number of internet so might not be Tvr lol. Anyway. Thoughts. ? Not sure I need mounting tabs. As to be honest Velcro pretty good. But I was more after a more fitting box for board and plugs.

Bet someone posts a link now to them already done and printed lol

I like that, I'm a bit of a fussy g!t about neat & tidy, so sorting that area appeals. I think you're stuck with velcro or similar, as they mount on top of the tank in mine, I think? But they could mount onto a single board, which is then velcro'd perhaps - not sure there's any benefit though?

100% had same idea , that one board that then these slide / lock into ...

That's a great idea and the original boxes fit like cr*p - really felt like they went to RS or Maplin, bought a load of random boxes and then just dremelled some holes in them and went crazy with the hot glue gun

I'm up for a few of these when you have them designed

Wouldn't surprise me, there was a Maplins by the airport when they expired...

Also, subject to pricing, I'm in.

Silly question, but are you able to make replacement Chip covers for the MBE ECU fitted to the SP6 T cars? I have two, both missing the cover.
