3d printed shifter bezel
 
Would anyone be interested in 3d printed shifter bezels? I've been designing w123 and w201 replacement center console wood and was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying them if I printed a few? They would be very reasonably price. It's looking like im a month or two down the road, as I have to make sure they are prefect.

How do you plan on doing the chrome inlays? The chrome inlays on my '79 240D auto shifter bezel are broken and I was going to make some replacements from aluminium and polish them out, but the rest of my shifter is kinda funky as well so a replacement may be in my future.

If you're talking about just the skirt that surrounds the shifter, I bought a replacement on Amazon for $12 - probably not worth making those.

I'd maybe be interested, it depends entirely on how the finished product looks .

How tough to make a 5 speed for the W123? Any pictures / graphics to see how they would look ?

A 3-D printed 5 speed, now that would be a miracle. I wonder how long it would last :)
