Just came on here to say that the designing part is taking a wee bit longer than I had anticipated. I am at their mercy I guess. Nothing to do but wait. Going to follow up and see how we can speed up the test print part

Hey KJC, we've got a holiday coming up next week so no work for about a week here where I'm at. I'll update the post sometime in June and yes, I should have four separate files for anyone looking to 3D print: 1. Cup Holders (almost ready for a test print) 2. Side Trim Pieces (LHS & RHS) 3...

All the parts that are required for the conversion of your center console in your Lexus GX470 - the part comes in Black leather (slightly worn on the center console pad - can be seen in the photos attached) with the gear selector cover, cup holders and two side trim pieces. This is everything...

So I thought I'd document the process of finding a reliable partner to help with scanning, reverse engineering and 3D printing the complete Prado J120 center console along with the gear selector cover and side trim pieces. I will install the 3D printed part in my GX and see how well it fares in...

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My current laptop that I use is a work laptop and I cannot really download anything onto it. I have an old Windows 7 laptop where I want to download Techstream onto NATIVELY. Does anyone have a link or a download for the software to run on a Windows 7 PC...

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster :) I drive a 2003 Lexus GX470 with 225,000 Mi on the clock. I've owned the car for about two years now and for some reason, I can't get it to run 'right' I love the car but my OCD will not settle until I get the engine to run smooth as butter :)...
