It took 7 prototypes and about 30 hours over several months to get the design right. It can't be reliably printed on hobbyist grade printers--the materials just aren't up to the stress. Ask me how I know.

I like those 3D Printed options. Of course, if you're not ready to pay $80 for a piece of plastic, you could just make your own .
I opted to buy my own police XJ one immediately after I made this, but the home made one worked great while I used it before I sold it.

Did you have to cut the dash to fit it over the switches?
I made one that used these contura Vs and the switch is taller than the hole in the dash, so I wound up with this situation:
I couldn't put the dash back on with the switches installed.
