C172 Glareshield

The ultimate printer I can recommend is the Bamboo Labs X1 carbon with AMS if you have deep pockets. ($1200). It's a massive leap forward in 3D printing, with excellent quality and impressive speeds. Its pretty much press print and go as the software and hardware do the calibration before each print. This printer will not manage the larger parts and you are going to need the CREALITY CR10 v3, which is my second choice of printer.
This is the 3d printed wrap around glare shield for the Cessna 172 instrument panel. Created in 4 parts which slot together to form the whole assembly. These parts are then held in position with various dome head screws. The whole unit then slides onto the edge of the instrument panel and is secured with screws.
You will need a print bed size of 300mm x 300mm.
