I just ordered some stuff from:Working on a new dash panel setup. This set up is a modification from another members file. Setup for a 3 rocker switch, two push buttons for the dash buttons, two large holes are for volt meter and USB. also place for the daylight sensor. Thought about also adding a location for the OBD. I thought about sending it over to Xometry.com and having it 3D printed in ABS. Xometry quote is about $53 to print plus shipping. Thoughts?

I could try... are you just wanting an image converted to a CAD file?
A few years ago, I took a picture, imported it to the CAD software I was using at the time, and did edge detection on it.
I was able to get the outline without having to trace the edges.
It helps to have a good picture:
- high contrast (dark gasket with a white background),
- keeping the phone camera back several feet to reduce camera lens distortion, and
- keep the camera directly inline with the center of the gasket.
put the gasket on a flat bed scanner, better than trying to take a photo. You can then put the image into the CAD system of your choice, scale if needed (typically don't need to scale it if your scanner outputs a PDF file) and trace over it - use circles instead of splines for the bolt holesYeah just an outline of the gasket so I can extrude it a bit and then have it test cut. I appreciate it, I'll see if some better photos help
