I want to start making some open-source parts for the volvo 240.
This is my first attempt this morning with making a new acrylic speedometer glass.
I notice taking measurements from both the original glass and the width/height of the speedometer housing is not going to be perfectly precise with years of sun.
I also notice that cutting a hole using an acrylic laser cutter to replicate the angled hole of the odometer reset is not possible with normal acrylic cutters.
Feel free to modify and e-upload files. You need 2mm acrylic if you are going get near the density of the original acrylic for spacing purposes when you wedge the new acrylic in.
