I'm sure there is something I can make for my 997.2 but I'm having trouble thinking of something. So I ask you all, if you had a CNC machine at home, what would you make?

There was a guy on the AudiTT forums that was making these. He sold his car and no longer manufactures them but I would think it is doable for our cars

Why not just use a 3D printing service like Shapeways? I'd design some replacement TEMP and FAN switches to replace those nasty rubber coated ones.
