3D Printed Parts Thread

I'm putting my 940 back together and needed a B230 intake valve stem seal driver... and so I made one.

Gave it pretty thick walls and it worked without issue or breaking. (Obviously don't crank on it sideways and it should be fine.) Seal slides on with the spring side facing into the tool. The protrusion is designed to slide right into the valve hole to ensure everything stays aligned. I applied a little bit of clear grease to the seal, then gave it a soft tap with the shot hammer. Easy. Remove the driver and visually inspect to make sure it is seated.

Before I just grab a printed one on ebay, is the file for the 7/940 left vent boost gauge still kicking around? I went through the thread and saw @aaronllewellyn used to sell printed ones with the file but it looks like he hasn't been active for a few years. Does anyone know if he still sells them or offers the file for personal use?

This one?
 
I made these 46/38mm "valves" to protect the valve seat while shaping the combustion chambers and to work as a guide for de-shrouding.

It's not much but this is the first part I've drafted and printed myself!

I made some snow caps:

PETG didn't feel like it was going to be sturdy enough so I 3D printed a female mold and did the cheapest and worst vacuum bagging job of all time:

4 layers of 1708 with total boat 5:1 epoxy feels a little more capable of holding up to highway speeds and the elements in general.

I made some t-bolts out of epoxy filled PETG to hold everything down:

Hey y'all,

I noticed that there aren't a lot of good ways to find all of the Volvo files that have been shared. I have 4TB free on my Mega account and have taken the liberty of downloading all available files in this thread, and threads connected to this thread. Link is below. If anyone has any other files they'd like me to add, just PM me or quote me here.

 
Has anyone tried designing grill inserts? Ie, eggcrate style for a 86-93 240 grill.
That's a massive print job that'd most likely require a cabinet printer. The 40k printer we had at work didn't even do bits that large. I don't think it's feasible to do yet.
 
Yeah, I figured it would need to be printed in pieces then assembled.

I didn't even think about the tabs to adapt an eggcrate grill, that's another idea. I was talking about the inner piece of the grill that sits within the rectangular surround.
