I've got a couple of ideas for the dash of SanFord, and a 3D printer would expands my options. Not to mention being fun to tinker with. The one I'm looking at is a Tevo Black Widow. Anyone have experiance with them?

It looks to be reasonably prices and able to print some fairly large objects.
Go to a cnc mill. Wouldnt a billet aluminum dash look so nice in the bus?
What's the build size of the one you're looking at?
In reply to DrBoost:
Approximately 14" X 10" X 12".
In reply to MrChaos:
Most of the dash and instrument cluster is going to stay stock. I need to mount 3 7" screens for the rear cameras and I don't want to just hang them off of the dash.
And CNC mills are a little out of my price range.

Good. I just don't see the point in buying the smaller ones. Mine is 10 cubed, bought back when that was really big. I'm glad I didn't save the couple bucks for a smaller one. I know two people with smaller ones, they are both sitting, collecting dust.
In reply to DrBoost:
By the time you option up the cheap small printers, they are not much cheaper than the larger printers that already come with the quality components.

I agree. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Mine was about $600 shipped to my door with enough filament to last me the first year.
