3D Printing Parts

Great going, now try the early GT "ice cream cone" mirror that would sell well

What 3D printer are you using. If anyone had one big enough for the front instrument cluster it would be interesting. Although looks like you know what your doing on a part like this. Love it. Thumbs up from me.

I reckon you'd be able to make a few sales if you could 3d print the opaque interior light bezel.
Mines crumbled many year ago, and if you can get the correct one, not escort or narva which are a different size, the price is blood money.
 
The problem of course is the 3d printing stock, not going to be very functional light wise.

cheers Flighter, that's great.
 
I've put up with a dodgy light for the past 10 years, and it lets downan otherwise neat interior
I'll track one down, much appreciated!

aldi had a 3d printer on sale ....  from what i have seen on some 3d printers and that would also be down to what type material type plastics  you use it can be very brittle

Hi Everyone,
 
It looks like we're getting a 3d printer at work, and I'm going to be able to have a play, so I thought I'd resurrect this thread.
 
The printer itself has dual extruding heads, meaning you can print either 2 different colors in the item, or materials, or a material stock and also the support that may be needed whilst printing, or 2 parts at once,etc.
 
So just wondering, if anyone else has done some more experimenting with 3d printing Escort and Capri Parts.
All of Mushers items above would be worth printing, so if your still lurking Musher, please let me know.
 
If anyone has any good links for 3d parts, that would be great also (the machine just uses stl files).
I have 3 colors of  improved version of PLA filaments coming (engineering PLA), plus a Carbon filament also.
 
Wiggy the printing bed size would possibly accommodate a cluster surround, but I'd need the 3D file itself, or
or someone way smarter than me to draw any item up that we may want printed.
 

Hey Guys,
 
Same as some of the other guys here. Access to a very decent 3D printer, Solid Works modelling software to build the parts and a MK2 escort to home them. I really have been slack so far but will get onto making some bits that i need. If anyone needs any quick parts modelled up, happy to help. Just need a decent sketch/dimensions of what you are after and can deliver the required STL file. Something like a dash cluster is a different story. Can definitely be done, but modelling will take some time and the print time would be decent. 
 
One thing to note is the standard print material wont like being fully exposed to the sun. Great for internal parts but anything that will be subjected to repeated heat cycles, UV, not sure how well they will hold up...
