Headlight repair tabs might be popular.

 

Dang I actually need these too. I'll see what I can do. What would this tab look like in general?

 

I want these.

 

I want these.

The mud flaps?

 

Really? Awesome. How much for a pair? I don't think the area in front of the tires sees much in the way of debris. They will probably be fine so long as the car isn't lifted recklessly by someone.

 

Oh that's in front of the tire? Maybe I'm confused on what part this is, I was thinking it was the front tire mud flaps that sit after the tire, closer to the door.

 

They are located in front of the rear wheels, and were introduced in 2003+ models, I believe. I only possess one side. Mirroring it should produce the opposite side, and I can send you mine if it would result in these becoming available for purchase.

 

I think it would be better to get the print and make a mold for something stronger. The constant hot/cold warps PLA and ABS is super brittle. Rocks thrown at it from the tires will beat it up. Not stopping you from doing what you want to do, but I struggled with prints under stress (heat/pressure) until I finally paid for injection molding and all of my problems were solved.

 

These are definitely a rare accoutrement to track down and a pretty cool little fairing. I'm glad this came back up.

Some Background info:

The Toyota part numbers are:
58742-17020 LH
58741-17020 RH

LH remains to be purchased for what I could scrape from the major wholesalers, but generally not available. Been meaning to plop the part in my basket to start and start with a digital caliper, then maybe mirror it with software.

I have only really only have limited experience in PLA, but wondered about ABS in this application finished with sanding / paint.

 

mr2 spyder maf mod spacer by OhYou_

6.3mm tall maf spacer for mr-s print with 0.4mm tip, 0.04mm layer heightdesign is very thin where the upper ring attaches, so use sealant or some kind of glue to prevent it from breaking off and falling into the intake.

I think these might be pretty popular. The MAF mod is something a lot of people want to do. Maybe send a prototype to Cap just to make sure it's the proper fit and height, he's the one who figured that stuff out. He's the freaking MAN!!

 

If you can print navpods for a reasonable price I think you'd have a lot of interest. I know there are some plans out there and the material would need to stand up to dashboard sun heat levels.

 

I have a backup (.7z archive) of the .STL files Abbott Smith originally made. You can't seem to find them on Thingiverse anymore.
It's a huge print though, and from my digging, even with SLS printing, it seems prohibitively expensive.
But I agree, if someone could do it and make it financially viable, there'd be takers.

 

I'd be happy to see your navpod files! That might be cool to experiment with in mine as well.

 

They're there!
Just click the link in my post.

 

I made this SMT shifter. It needs to be rounded but it's a nice functional minimalist design

 

Not sure if it is possible but it would be cool to have the airbag delete storage glovebox thing that was japan only.
They were only fitted to RHD cars. So I could import one but I would have to effectively model and mirror the lower half of the box, retaining the original lid and latching mech.
My printer cant print something so big but maybe it is possible to print a retrofit kit used to trim off the original mounts and replace them with screw on 3d printed components.
I haven't bothered importing a box yet but they go for $100-150 on yahoo auctions. (pls dont buy all of them lol)

Interesting modification, however even the cover isn't symmetrical, so I expect it would fit very poorly no matter what. I feel like composite fabrication would probably be the better option there

 

Minus the now somewhat out of place spot the original latch locks into on the dash that looks pretty damn good, assuming it is sturdy enough to hold a decent sized electronic device

 

Printed on a Ender 3, have to place part on print Bed diagonally to fit it on the Printer
Black is PLA, Blue is ABS, It's very strong 3.5mm thick.

i'm going to clean it up and use it make a Mold Master,
Remake a few of them out of Carbon fiber or Fiberglass,
i might even have a go at Vacuum Forming Plastic.

 

My soft top latches have the plastic locks that are cracking. I have not found a referenced part or part number. They get brittle. I heat gunned and reshaped, but only good for so long…

 

Anyone tried out 3d printed speaker adapters for 6.5in? For example here.

 

I haven't yet but I am planning to try that one when I get some new speakers in a month or so

 

New layout, no support needed, no air ventilation for easy printing, 2 flat faces for bonding together.

 

Is this navpod? Link to files?

Now if someone could 3D scan a TRD front lip (pre-FL) that would be great. Anyone care to try?
