About this model

A 3D scan of the center switch panel from a Mk1 Classic Mini, captured on my own laser scanner and shared here free for the community. This is the little panel that carries the toggle switches in the center of the early Mini dash — a small part, but one of those distinctive details that makes a Mk1 interior look right. Original panels get damaged, cracked, lost to rust around the mounting points, or butchered by previous owners adding switches over the decades, and finding a clean reference for the correct shape and switch layout isn't always easy. This scan preserves the real geometry: the panel profile, the switch cutouts, and the mounting hole positions as they actually are on an original car. Because it's a small, detailed part, a scan like this is especially handy for: Reproduction and fabrication — a reference for recreating a replacement panel, whether you're laser-cutting, CNC machining, or modelling one up in CAD Restoration reference — confirm the correct switch layout and cutout spacing when restoring or refitting a Mk1 dash Replica and project builds — an accurate base for anyone building a digital or physical recreation of an early Mini interior Documentation — a digital record of a small but characterful piece of Mk1 Mini history The usual scan caveats apply: this captures the as-measured surface of a real, aged part, so expect organic mesh geometry rather than a clean parametric solid, and a few areas may carry the marks and slight distortions of 60-plus years of life. Treat it as an excellent starting point and verify anything dimensionally critical against a physical panel before you cut metal. I scanned this one myself and I'm putting it out for free because the small interior trim details are exactly the bits that go missing and get hardest to source. If it helps you put a correct-looking Mk1 dash back together, it's done its job.
