3D Printed Parts Thread

Weird, I guess my link worked since I was logged in. Reloaded into Thingverse.

Volvo 240 windshield vents by bkaushansky

Modeled after '88 Volvo 240 windshield vents. Not perfect, but close enough.

I highly recommend uploading models to printables, thingiverse has been really finicky lately

Unless someone comes along and purchases thingiverse, I think they will die in the next year or two. Nobody maintaining that website it seems.

Hopefully someone archives it.

Hopefully someone archives it.

I remember hearing that some other printable site was making a push to get as many of the models as possible moved over. I heard it on 3d Printing Today podcast.

Yes. I'm that nerd.

Speaking of which.

SU HS6 Two Bolt Air Filter Housing by atbarker

Round air filter housings for an SU HS6 carburetor. To install them on the car you'll want two of the top pieces and two of the base pieces. If your filters have a PCV hose hooked up then for one carburetor you'll want to print out the base with the vent hole and the vent fitting. Secure the...

SU carb air filter housings for relatively cheap filter inserts (from a tri-power triple carb '66 Pontiac). Designed for HS6 carburetors, I can also modify them for Zenith Stromberg and HIF6 carbs if there is interest. I was put off by the $60 filter change parts cost from VP and I like paper filters.

I printed a finished set with ASA and a prototype set with ABS, both work well and don't deform under the hood. Even though it gets pretty toasty down there.

I have finally remodeled the center caps I made up for using Aries wheels on a Volvo 240. You can't use the stock hubcaps when running Aries on a 240 so this is one option for people. Pop one of Dave Barton's stickers on there for some customization. The front and rear caps are slightly different. I have been running these over a year without any durability of stickability issues.

Here is the link to the .stl files

Center Caps For Aries Wheels on a Volvo 240 by dandeluca

When installing Aries Wheels from a Volvo 900 or 700 series onto the Volvo 240 series the stock hubcaps or center caps will not fit. I modeled these caps as an alternative. The 2.5 inch diameter caps are perfect for personalizing with Dave Barton's stickers. The front caps and rear caps are...

I will definitely use this in the future . Thanks!

So I'm doing stuff.

Those 4 at the top don't fit. Finally got one that does fit, but I need to tweak it one more time for a better fit for both sockets. They are keyed slightly differently, but I'm making the plate where it fits both.

First fitted part!

Will fit the 1156 and 1157 sockets I bought from superbrightleds.com. It's where I got the lamps too and they are great!

Did these ever work out, an would you be willing to share the file? I'm battling constant annoying taillight issues and I like this solution.

Obligatory did not make these but I used these speaker adapters to put 5.25s in the front of my later 740 front doorcards with the weird speaker size and they worked like a charm. Printed using PLA and just bolted right up and the stock covers fit right over them.

3d printed tail light fix

I set out to permenatly fix my tail lights with new sockets. First things first. You need new sockets. I used 1156 and 1157 style. I also ordered LED bulbs for them all from www.superbrightleds.com Sockets: https://www.superbrightleds.com/ba15-bayonet-base-sockets-wired+base-1156~BA15S...

Has anyone started looking into 3d scanning parts?

 

[cwdodson88]

Smogli is doing some scanning of parts. I’ve got a scanner but haven’t had time to play with it yet. Have anything special in mind?

 

[cmsuter]

Someone make replacement gears for the inside of the radio/cassette players! They all dry and crumble (like the odometer gears).

This is also me. Hopefully I'll be getting into it more this summer.

I never noticed this was a thread. I made the front panel on the triple 52 mm gauges. And a tool for getting valve spring keepers out. They should both be on thingiverse.

Nice, I need one. FYI - Someone on ebay is selling these (triple gauge trim piece). I noticed your photo from Thingiverse on their listing. Sellers seems to be in Italy, supposedly.

Yeah everything I post ends up on ebay. Ebay doesn't do anything about it. That's why I quit posting on thingaverse.

Would anyone know a person who works in a field related to 3D printing near the BWI area?
Our Skills USA competition needs a judge for the additive manufacturing contest.
It's a great competition for high school students.
PM me if you know someone.
The contest is March 25, I don't know yet if it is at CAT North or Severna Park High School.

Small gears don't print very well on FDM printers. You need an SLA (resin) Printer to get that superfine detail, and most resins aren't that durable. Although the new Formlabs printers have resins that range in durability from more flexible to more brittle (but stiff). It would take some experimenting, but I'm sure you could get quality gears out of the newest SLA printers and resin.

I didn't agree with the level of refinement the aftermarket flex fuel kit offered for the sensor mounting (a pair of zip ties) so I made a mount that fits on the EGR control valve bracket. Flex fuel sensor mount
