3D Printing Development Thread

Given a choice, I'd rather have the vent part with a simple tombstone sort of thing sticking up in the back, with a screw-hole or two in it. Then do 1/2/3-gauge pods, cell phone cradles, radar detector cradles, etc, separately.

VDO is a brand of gauge.

 

They seem to be good quality low frill gauges. I believe all of them are threaded, but I will take some measurements later for you.

 

Yea I did some looking and found them :lol:

So you are talking something like this? Obviously more refined but I just wanted to see if this is along the lines of what you were talking about.

That's the basic idea. However I was picturing the tombstone part being flat, so it would be easy to make other parts that mate up to it.

Updated the projector bracket, this version is good enough to actually use.

Is that from the bracket I sent you? :lol: Looks like it turned out well. I'm curious to see how the ABS holds up to the heat from the headlights. I was hesitant so I just had them waterjet out of aluminum.

 

Also, I'm sure people are curious on updates for the pod. I have been really busy with work, class, and working on my car, lately so I haven't had much time to get on here. I am thinking that I will order 1 of each of the pods first to make sure everything fits properly and needs no changes. Then if I need to make changes or there is an issue, I don't have a bunch of pods that don't work right.

 

With that being said, does anyone else forsee and issues with the pods before I send for the pair to be printed?

Kind of, the quad bracket is still in progress (thanks again for the help there!). I needed to verify the mini h1 mounting profile and bracket hole fit so making this was a simple way of solving both of those. Next is transferring these to the profile you sent me and playing with projector offsets.

Looking to buy the defrost vent single gauge pod. Where is the group buy page?

 

Not yet. Stay tuned for streetlegas updates.

 

I jokingly started a list a few pages back

I started a list for you.

I'm going to order one of each first just to confirm everything before I set up the group buy. I don't want to go ahead and order a bunch just to find out there is an issue with them or something.

 

I just uploaded my air-box plug to thingiverse. If I was smart, I would have taken a picture before I buttoned up the car. :) But there is a picture of the part prior to installation.

I guess I never thought about doing that. Nice simple idea!

any of these made for the right hand drive cars

 

I did not make them for right hand drive but I can mirror the model and it should fit the same for the RHD guys. The other models should be here in a day or two so I can confirm everything works. After that I can mirror one and have it printed to check it. I am not sure if I can just put it on the passenger side of a LHD car though.

Alright have a few more test fit pictures. The guy that is testing my dual pod is working on getting me some pictures with gauges installed. He had to cut the "wire tube" a bit to fit his connector for his AFR gauge since it was already installed and routed. Otherwise he said he wouldn't have needed to cut it. I think I have a few gauges laying around that I can play with tonight.

I also ordered a material sample kit so I can get an idea of what some of the other finishes would be like if someone wanted a different/color material.

Not sure if it was discussed...is there interest in guys wanting one made to fit access port v3? I'd like to see if there is enough interest to get some printed 👍😎

Likely a shot in the dark, but does anyone have files for the fastening rims for hella 1000's? I bought a set without realizing they don't have them, so I mocked up bottom tab similar to what the 500's use thinking that was all I needed. It wasn't till I looked online did I release they use a fastener that goes all the way around the light...

It was talked about. I do have a V3 scanned that I will be making a mount for once these are done. I was planning on doing a v2 and v3 style mount.

Have you tried looking on any of the 3d printing sites that host all kinds of models?

 

Got some pictures of the single pod with wires in it. The gauge I had was from my truck and has really long mounting studs on it so it doesn't fit all the way in. Other than that everything fits awesome and there is a lot of room for the wires in the tube. With that being said I think the single one is good to go :)

Here's a picture of one of the older revisions of the dual pod with the small wire tube going to the middle of the gauges with the same gauge. Still looks like there is quite a bit of room for wires. However, the guy that has the current dual one said that there wasn't enough room for wires to both of the gauges which doesn't make sense. Waiting for some pictures from him.
