Not too sure that's the proper name for these but it's better than
"little black plastic things that go on the odd shaped clear instrument covers that constantly fall out and disappear"

these things:

PLEASE BE ADVISED: They are a PitA to print properly due to their small size. At least they're quick to print.

Thanks. For the early 944 dashes I assume? Have you considered a resin SLA printer for that? They can make parts with freakish precision -- like they came out a mold really. And the prices have come way (way!) down in the last few years (like starting under $200). It's getting to be like laser printers where the supplies cost more than the printer...

I would LOVE to get my hands on a resin SLA printer! Just trying to justify the need.
I was also thinking of casting these little things. Under $100 for a complete setup?
Print once, produce many. It will always amaze me that we can now do these things.
