the gearlever bush for my van fell apart when I looked at it the wrong way, and  Yesterford are closed for a few weeks. So it got me back onto the  hunt for 3D print files for the Escort, I was hoping to print a mockup to make do.
 
Not sure if anyone has seen this guy making a 1/12 3D printed model, but its turning out very nice!

Maybe we need a CF 3d parts file share library.
All I can contribute car wise so far is just the file for  brake/clutch peddle bushes.
(oh, and the file for Netgain Hyper 9 elec motor 1:1) :)

Thats a pity, i'm sure we could get you going.
 
if you wanted to play Marty, give this a crack.
 
 edit: poo, it wont let an stl file be uploaded.
Will send the Capri clutch bush file, and a minilight wheel that I tubbed fatter.
What model is your printer? and did you ever have it working?
 

Getting back to your gear stick bush, forget escort parts, look for falcon XD to XF 4 or 5 speed bush, same part..

My printer isn't very expensive $250 or so from banggood cause my theory was if it (or me) can drive it I may buy a bigger better one later on.

I use a lappy as much as I use a vacuum cleaner , hardly ever !

I really love the idea of 3d printing, i helps bring such a OEM touch to things. I found oem styled coin holder on thingyverse and had a guy from marketplace print it for me to put in the toyota.

How do you start on making something like this? 3d scan a blank or the actual item? measure and build it in a program?

Its a whole new world to me

I havent used a phone scanning app, as I still have on old Sumsung android, but there does seem to be more Apple options available.
For Robbies coin tray, where you'd start would be using a basic program like Tinkercad. Its free, and is surprisingly useful and organic once you get an idea how it thinks. They use it for kids at school, but its easy to learn  without getting overly frustrating and is often my go to. Once you get a bit of a handle on it, its the type of program you can just fully exploit all it can do because you can just about fully master it, if that makes sense. Try something simple, all  of the bits below I have made from scratch are done just using Tinkercad.

Draw it up, and save it. The program lets you then "export' it to a printer, making it into an *.stl file which is what you need. Having a cheap digital vernier set is really helpful. Files get stored online, and can be shared.
If there's something you want done, give us some dimensions, or have a rough crack and we can all help 'fix it' online!
The coin tray has curves both ways, but it can be done.
Some examples, Boat parts, model boat keel, I did an MGF drivers mirror adjuster lever thing  which looked flashy
 

Resurrecting the thread as a few of us are 3d printing and designing bits for Escort and motor, like intake manifolds etc.
I'm up to speed with these machines now after some Deano help. Also bought a biggie 400x400 printer a few weeks back so big stuff can be made..
I'll be doing a set of Weber velocity stacks for a mates RS soon .

Rhino is more suited to surface modelling.  Have a look at Fusion 360.  It's free for personal use and is a solid modeller which is what you need for your stl file exports.
