broken under dash-pad Clip (fuse cover Left hand Drivers side)
Need these Clips to hold it in place so you do not get hurt in a collision..
also covers up the fuse box and make our XJSs look nice..

I could bother Paul's Jaguar... but.. with the stay in place Covid-19 got the wild hair to see if I could learn CAD well enough in a week to draw one
to 3d print it with a 3D Printer...
well after a Week of Pain and failure... I had success...


low quality picture...
looks great on my computer...

hoping to print it out soon...
I figured with this NICE OLD car... I should start a library of parts I could Print...

 

Awesome! I'm sure some people would be interested in buying some from you if you start making them!

 

WowO... Great work. I am always amazed at people's skills. Skills I wish I had. Really!
Can ya make one ah these, lol??? Could make a pretty penny!

Seriously though. What about the rear interior light (doesn't have to have a manual on off function) for the XJS Convertible? It's mounted on the rear wall. Looks kind of like the one here. It's the circled sections that snap off.

 

Yeah my rear interior lights look like that too smh!

 

The plastic in one of my convertible rear interior lights broke but I managed to glue it with the original Gorilla a glue. Works a treat.
Rob.

 

Oh. That one is one I found (to throw into the thread) on eBay. A single unit, 90bucks...! And they are rare and far between - and fragile if one can be had.

Yeah, I was (and most likely will be) going to be going for the glue myself... Yes, glue works. If ya look close - my whole car is held together with it, lol

 

My interior lights in the rear also had/have issues... do not remember how I fixed them... but I put Blue LEDs in them because my interior is Blue... pulling them out now...

 

Are you willing to share the .STL or g code for that clip? I need a couple as well.

 

I wanted to print one first... to make sure I got it right... but, yes..

 

looks like that Light in the picture is broken on the right... it should be straight up and it looks bent to the right from vertical...
there is a way to recast the clear lens... it is supposed to be center off... one way on with the doors and interior switch and the other way off when doors open and only on with the interior switch...
mine is missing the springy thing that keeps it in one state of the 3.
mine is also missing the axis on that end... I do believe that on one end there is an axial clear nub of lens material that snaps off after so many years the other end has a hole that a feral rivet goes thru... that side does not break..
witch I am now looking to make a solution for...

missing axel

red hot wire to interior light switch bulet

this is end is okay

 

in

one side

the other side
place looked like this

 

I nearly had a "moment" when I uploaded it to a 3D print service... and found that they wanted $52 US to print it in ABS... the more you request the cheaper they get... I figure (PUN) I will have it printed in simple resin... for $12 to make sure it fits... correctly as originally designed...
told my wife that $189 will get me my own printer... that can do ABS...

wish me good fortune... (I am blessed)

 

I used my sons as an excuse to purchase a 3D printer. It seemed like a great learning tool for them. We’ve enjoyed it. The only jaguar thing I’ve printed so far was a wireless phone charger that fits in the ashtray slot. It works pretty well. It was a steep learning curve for me in the beginning and I still seem to learn something new each time I print something. Definitely a fun tool in the workshop.

 

I’ll sign up for a set of these.

 

I'll through in my artist daughters... and see if that helps... what Printer do you own?

I have a Tevo Nereus. I’m a total amateur at this point so the limiting factor is me, not the printer. So far it’s done a pretty good job with what I’ve asked of it but I have encountered a few quirks here and there (and I can’t update the firmware with my Mac which is annoying). There are so many models out there to chose from. First I considered getting a pretty high end version. Buy once, cry once so to speak. But I’m glad I got a more reasonably priced one to start with (roughly $300) because Im not afraid to tinker with it. If I ever find the printer becomes my limiting factor (unlikely) I’ll gladly upgrade.

 

tried to upload... *.stl file..
Ill have to get it to you some other way... send me a Private message... and we can work out how to get it to you...
it will be mid may before I can get my printer kit...

 

I collected about twenty of these when i had my 94 coupe.
Anyone interested in buying them are welcome to call or text.

looking in to 3D Printing Clear for Lenses ….
hmm... looks like a lot of fun in my future ...

hehehe how about a custom big frame one in my shop to print a Hardtop for my car,,,

 

This is kind of a late reply to this thread, but I have tried several places for one of these clips. Did you have any success printing them? I have one broken and the knee pad drops every time i hit a bump. Thanks for any help you can offer.
