I haven't had much time to work on my cars for the past few months, but one job I was really happy with was installing these shifter bushings (for the Only944 shifter in my 951) from a guy on here, 944TurboYYC. They fit really well, snapped right into place. He also made me some bellhousing plugs that also great fitment. IRCC he also has some other parts he prints, they all fit great.
I love the community we have - site sponsor vendors, resident experts, and then a few hobbyists sharing their own designs with others. In the last year I have purchased the balance cover end seals from Voith, and the brass vacuum manifold from Laust Pedersen.
It's pretty cool to print parts that I designed and then ship them to the US, Finland, Demark, Australia and elsewhere. I'd love to hear from others who've ordered.
I think i might have to get me some shifter dampners!
are you taking suggestions for more 3D printed parts?
DOOR LATCH SEAL

refer illustration 804-05 in the PET.pdf
This things is made of foam and all the ones of seen are decayed and crumbling apart, like the hood liner does. These are $22.25 ea (1 per door) from pelican. You could probably make some from denser foam but I dont have enough of mine left to use as a template.

I am definitely open to requests, though not everything is suitable for 3D printing (cost vs OE, practicality, etc). Anything similar to the small'ish 'rubber' parts I'm making would be ideal.
Looking at the PET diagram for the door latch seal - It appears to be something I could print - might have to change the density of the print so it feels softer.... though I'm not sure if there is enough demand for an aftermarket solution. New ones are available on Sunsetporscheparts.com for $18 each.
The plastic coupler on the transaxle-mounted shifter linkage. It "hourglasses" over the shafts over time and the shifter gets sloppy. I have a SolidWorks model of the part already from a project I did.
A replacement coupler piece, a new snap ring, bushing rings, and a flex-top lock nut would make a neat little service kit for the linkage. As an alternative, I have measurements for a modified coupler that allows thrust roller bearings to be installed for a crisper feel, similar to the Only944 linkage.
