cowl drains there is a rad hose that basically fits perfect after cutting it shorter

I'm in for rocker molding ends if anyone ever prints some

We got a resin printer at work. For testing I drew up a Datsun Roadster heater control switch knob. Black is the OG one. The orange is version 1 clear is the latest version. I later printed it in black but that's pretty boring.

took a lot of trial & error, but I printed a replacement hinge cover for my wagon

Nice! 3D printers are great things to have.

Perseverance!
Amazing the unobtanium being re-created these days,

That is pretty impressive! Nice work.

This is a rad thread! I've only worked with FDM but I've made an assortment of bits for my build; carb linkage ball joints, quarter window wedges, shifter bushings, lock knob bezels, door linkage clips, screw inserts for the c pillar vents, grommets, hole plugs, etc.

Rush how did you do the badge? Did you scan it? Find matching font?

I printed this a while ago. For my buddies datsun roadster, RHD parts are impossible to find. So we scanned and printed a LHD one then mirrored and printed it. I love 3D printing. I print stuff all the time. So handy. I printed a thin wall long nut to hold down the remote garbage disposal button in my sink. The threads weren't long enough and they didn't sell the part I needed. It even worked first try! The SLS printer at work prints amazing. Even the threads worked perfectly.

That is an impressive piece!

Yeah, I just plopped the one emblem I've got on the flatbed scanner then did the model in Fusion 360.

Flatebed scanner is genius! I should have done that with a spacer I made using the OEM gasket!

Lol! Yep! Sometimes with all this fancy techy stuff, it's easy to overlook the simple stuff. I just toss a US quarter coin on there with the item then size it in Fusion til the quarter is about an inch (actually, 24.257 mm if you need it to be precise) & that will give you the proper scale for the item. Sorta primitive, but it works!

One of my quarter window brackets broke last summer & the window flopped for the rest of the season! I'm on the hunt for a replacement piece but until then, I modeled & printed a replacement. Works just fine but not exactly pretty!
