FST Door handles had way to much flex in the shaft and they would have worn in the doors to quickly so this is what I came up with. With this design the core/shaft is a 316L stainless 3d printed part (i had to order this from a printing company) and the handle is the resin print. This...

Back from holiday - I got a chance to try out some of the parts and I think i solved the FST flex issue.

I do not have those parts to copy from but I'm sure I could!

Okay here is the setup... Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 12K Machine (SLA style 3D printer) Flexible Resin is Resione F80 (Shore hardness of 64A which is close to the standard(ish) for rubber) Exhaust Fan and associated equipment is all AC Infinity with a tent style enclosure My FDM printer is an...

YES I DID. Post incoming...

Yeah formlabs makes an incredible machine. Quality is similar to mine except I don't have access to their ecosystem which costs more but is more plug and play and more commercially oriented.

I'll post when I get a store setup... right now I'm keeping this tech and showcasing the technology and trying to figure out where the need might be for this kind of thing. I'd say at least a month or two.

Yeah i think I can still make that happen - I'll follow up when I get the measurements

Are you looking for ones like these? or more smooth like the original? I'm going home to my cruiser and I still have a spare/bare cowl so I can just measure my hinges and then measure the opening to get the dimensions. You won't need me to send anything!

PM incoming

I don't live in the states actually! I still have my USA number though. I'll give you a call this week

@65swb45 Mark, I could use a few more measurements if you are able from your NOS one. Can you measure the ID, OD, height, and thickness of each end. A really good side profile shot will help me get the profile right. I was going to e-mail you... I thought I had your e-mail address but I...

Okay this one is silly and I picked the wrong font so I need to go back and change it/resize the numbers but I made the little TG? Symbol and modeled the mold line. These are only ~$6 so I'm not sure $2 in resin is worth it when oem is available but it was quick to model Steering column grommet:

That's cool! Did they ever come that way from the factory? Where did you buy the file?

His 3d printed parts appear to be TPU filament from an FDM printer. They look nice and TPU is quite tough but it will never look like a factory original or match the detail of an original like resin can. It also appears they don't sell just the bushing.
