Printing is the easy part. Send me the .STL file with your 3D print-model and I can get it printed. 
That said (tongue in cheek) the next major iteration of my stereo may involve a 3d-printed console insert to allow a 2-DIN unit. I've done a 3d-printed cradle for my amps already. Doing the 3d model of even a simple part takes non-trivial time. And printing costs are non-trivial too.

...It sometimes bogs down and takes a while to become responsive to controls - have not had it crash at all. Some control combinations seems to stop responding in certain modes but others still wake it back up. It is slow to startup every time as it need to boot-up. Quirky and not quite "finished for prime time"
I have not experienced the HW issue of it cutting out over bumps etc - that sounds mostly like a poor installation issue to me.
I think I'm going to go with the DEH-80PRS or one of the Apline mech-less units that replacd the iDA series.

If you were serious and can mock something up I'd buy it.
Say the word and let me know where to send my monies.

Since I am the owner of this idea, the intellectual property is clearly mine so the money can be sent directly to my bankaccount. Thank you.
I might even make some extra of these
patent pending

I am planning on making one from wood and cover it with leather (I happen to have the right green leather for my car).

If so it just so happens I have the same color in my car
Sounds to me like maybe it was meant to be

Has anyone actually fitted one of these? I'm really keen to get one from an authenticity perspective but I want to be sure it fits well in the dash (doesn't sit proud, which looks rubbish in a 928) and looks good in situ.
