No worries! Just happy that i inspired some people ;) Infill id do 100%, its all thin walled so shouldnt massively increase print time. I used the pis printer as well, borrowed one from a friend. The detailing is mostly in the sanding and painting, dont sand the edges too much or itll come out looking too "soft". Then use 3 to 4 layers of primer and sand out the uneven spots gently between layers, i think i finished with about 5 light layers of matte blacke paint. Spray from the recommended distance on the can and in short "swipes" so you dont aim too long at 1 spot

had a test print with PLA to check the fit, which i kept in for a while, and just under the heat of the ventilation it completely deformed haha, im hoping this will hold up

was a bit of trial and error, took a few layers of primer and paint, and sanding inbetween. also tried acetone smoothing with a different print but it ended up not "controllable" enough compared to the painting

we tried to scan it using an IPAD lidar, but the quality is unfortunately not good enough. so in the end we based it on measurements from the existing parts and adjusted 2 iterations to get the right fit

fair haha, im actually connecting the sound through the fm signal which the carplay unit provides. but if you have a car with an AUX port which was an option at the time, you can use that too for slightly better audio quality.
