3D Printing 924 & 944 Parts - Development and Discussion

WOW, that is very cool, I could use a pair for my 87 S..

I made the model in TinkerCad. You'll have to lay it on its back to print it.
Can you download it here:

Also - Van, thanks for making youtube videos. They really helped me out on the front wheel bearings and timing/balance belts.

Danke. I'll post the models after I make a couple tweaks. Right now the base is a bit thick and the speaker grille contacts the side of the dash. Not full-on squish, but enough that I want to change it. I'll also do some larger more generic attachments that will fit more cups/containers.
These were designed around one particular cup, but that's one of the many great things about additive manufacturing. You can design the -exact- part you want/need for a given situation.

+1 thanks for the model, and +1 thanks for the videos. I've watched a couple and enjoyed them, and as things go on, I'm sure I'll be watching more of them. Good stuff.

FINALLY nailed down the ideal sizing to plug the TDC view window!
TDC sensor plug in blue.
TDC sensor plug in black.
I didn't want to mess with my flywheel sensors. Someone indicated their diameters were identical to the TDC sensor hole - can anyone verify? If so, the same plug should work for all three.
I will post the .STL files shortly so anyone can print their own.
For those without printers, I will make them available through ebay. Available colours are black, blue, or red. Details and pretty photos to follow.

These plugs should be printed using a flexible filament - ABS or PLA *might* work, but they will likely be one-time use.

I love to support innovation.
Course my guy is itching to use his new toy to make something for someone.... LOL

What would be really cool was something that could fold up when not in use, and fold out when needed.....
I need to pick one of these up..... But I guess putting the Porsche back together comes first.

I don't think a heated bed is necessary for these smaller parts - but I am using the recommended 60°C bed temp. Ninjaflex sticks extremely well, so I use a thin layer of glue-stick on the bed beforehand.
I have a Lulzbot Taz 5, and I use the flexystruder (direct drive) head for this filament. Apparently the standard head will work, but it may jam or clog. I've had zero problems printing using recommended settings.
