discojon Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well I purchased a makerbot replicator 5th gen. The possibilities are endless no doubt but what are some things that the community needs? I'd like to come up with a good grill badge, maybe some other badges. Shift knobs? What else? FYI not selling anything in this thread, just gauging interest.

Max Capacity Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 How about a cheap way to swap in a 6mt ? LOL Can you copy that...LOL Actually, a GT emblem for the custom grill. I ordered mine from ebay out of Japan. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 How much that badboy cost? If you don't mind. Shift knobs would be great $17.00 but it was taken off a car, it wasn't new. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

lingling1337 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Vent gauge pod would be really cool if you could make it cheaply. High quality L7 badges are hard to come by also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 All good ideas. I'll work on the gauge pods and cubby pods. If anyone wants to work on a design feel free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06silvarubiLGT Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 vent gauge pods are sold on here used for between 60-80$, they used to be sold for $80 new- would have to dig up emails to find the kid again. but they get sold almost instantly here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow05gtRI Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 i'm not sure what the output material is like, but if you're talking about things that can go on the outside of the car... rear windshield (roof) spoiler? rear trunk lip spoiler? those are both sort of basic shapes, I feel like...

Should hold up fine outside. I couldn't do a one piece spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 yeah, usuall the rear windshield spoiler (so, roof spoiler I guess), is just a strip that goes along the top of the windshield to whatever designed dimensions... kinda same idea with the trunk lip spoiler. just a piece that attaches to the very edge of the trunk with 3M tape or whatever. is the material flexible or stiff (and/or brittle?)? edit: sorry, i mis-read that... thought you said you "could" do a one piece spoiler.

itzed Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'd like something that holds my phone securely other than the cup holder. It would be nice if it was high enough to be easily visible. I've tried a number of things and to some degree they all suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa! How long of an object can you print? Would a spoiler be printed in 2 pieces? Edited October 2, 2014 by kred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Whoa! How long of an object can you print? Would a spoiler be printed in 2 pieces? Around 9 inches is longest I can do. The roof spoiler would be doable it would just segmented into several pieces. What could happen is I could make the part, cast a mold, then make them out of fiberglass. But alas, I really don't have time for that. If anyone wants to help out we could work something out. So far I'm liking: Cubby gauge pod Vent gauge pod Custom L7 badges Shift knobs I could really benefit from a designer with experience to help design the parts, or even a community effort.

Its PLA, pretty stiff when printed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
