A sandable filler/primer, a few swipes with some 120 grit, and some trim paint looks better (more OEM even) than bare print. Those body hole plugs above got painted, as well as the LED tail light conversion on the same vehicle:

While not directly related to our cars, emblems such as the one shown below might be a good item to print.
The one shown below is NLA from Porsche. You might see one from time to time show up on eBay listed with the typical 'unobtanium' price of around $3500.

If anyone wants these plugs, I threw up an eBay listing. Price includes free shipping.

Update!
I printed a few plugs to get started and show the colour options available.
Square'ish plugs fit into the bellhousing 'window' for verifying TDC.
Round plugs fit into the bellhousing hole after removing the useless TDC sensor.
They fit snugly, so they require some finesse to install with the AOS in place. I used some double-sided tape and a long screwdriver to maneuver them into place. They are removable and re-usable.
I'll build up a small backlog, but I'm hoping to print these 'on-demand' for the most part. They will ship the next day after order.
Plug pricing is the same for either type, any colour:
Thanks!

There's so many factors that limit practical printing size:
- Geometry
- Thickness
- Part orientation
- Material
- Printer speed
- Random bad luck
Temps again depend on the material, but most materials are printing above 200°C (392°F). I've tested the Ninja Semi-Flex in a pot of boiling water and it maintained it's properties (listed max operating temp was 60°C).
I have a few parts installed in my car (in unquestionably hot areas) and have been driving it regularly over the past two weeks - Material (Ninja Flex) is holding up just fine.

GREAT! I had no luck sourcing replacement rubber - The original disintegrated when I tried to remove it prior to re-plating.
The ISV bracket is NLA and you would need to buy a complete water-pump bracket (or was it the other way around). Either way, standard P-clamp rubber is not wide enough. This was the only way.
Attached is the STL 3D Printer source for the ISV and the water pump 'rubbers' so anyone can print their own (using Ninjaflex or similar flexible filament). They're similar in major dimensions, but the ISV bracket needed a bit more material 'notched out' to fit.
They print with some built in support material on the outside. I've found it's easily removed by peeling it away with pliers (rather than cutting). It makes a nice break between layers.
For those without printers, I'm going to throw them up on eBay tonight. Red, blue or black. Link to follow.

It's possible! Porsche made tractors! Wonder if I could fool the neighbors....
At least the 911 fan boys would love it, it's air cooled! LOL.

I had been sitting on the idea for a while. if my lawnmower wasn't so old and rusty I would actually chase this. i noticed the drain plug in my shower is almost fuch shaped also...
