3D Print and CAD File Repository - 40 Series

[EmanC]

There have been quite a few 3D printed parts coming up lately and would love to try and organize them into one location for easier finding. I'll try and link what I can find and will edit this accordingly.


Also, this is a good place to make requests. I'm willing to CAD up parts if I have a good reference.

40 Parts:

So after not being satisfied with the options for fog dash pulls I went down the rabbit hole of making custom knobs for a few of my planned upgrades.

Sharing what I've done here:

Overview:
These are modeled after the early style knobs. Some knobs are at half-height as I am planning on putting them under the dash and wanted them to be lower profile.

Process for most:
Just download the .STL file and upload to an on-demand print service like 3D Printing Service | Shapeways - https://www.shapeways.com/ I haven't done this, but I would wager that the High Detail Plastic would work. Will need ot be painted after though.

Or do what I did find a neighbor that has an SLA 3D Printer. Often referred to as a "Resin Printer" and have them printed that way. This is probably the cheapest way as most people with 3D printers love excuses to use them and show them off. Often only needing to pay for material costs. You can print them on a "normal" 3d printer, but the resolution will be poor and you will need a lot of sanding to make them work. Not recommended.

Process for those who know CAD:
Download the blank STEP file and cut in your own icon,
You can find good icons to use via Noun Project: Free Icons & Stock Photos for Everything - https://thenounproject.com/.
Either import directly or use it as a guide for your own line art.
I normally try and make the line width 0.75mm wide and 0.50mm deep.

Notes:
Tap the base hole as M5 and the set screw hole as M4.
I use this for the set screw McMaster-Carr - https://www.mcmaster.com/93038A125/

Post Process and Paint Fill Process:
After Tapping the Knobs. I use a spare M5 Screw in a drill to chuck the knob.
I then use Novus 7136 Plastic Polish Kit starting at 3 up to 1 to get the surface a bit shinier.

For the colored paint Fill, I use Enamel paint meant for miniature model painting. I like Humbrol but Testors work great as well.
For White is use a Presto! Multipurpose Correction Pen The tip fits perfectly into the recesses and makes filling white super easy.
If possible use an Ink Syringe with the enamel to fill otherwise I just use a paintbrush or needle to get it filled.
I try and dab most of the paint off. This leaves it pretty messy but it's just a thin layer to remove next.
After the paint semi sets up. I take some Goof Off paint remover and wipe the surface clean with a microfiber towel.
I repeat the paint application/wipe removal as needed till I'm happy with the fill.

FJ40 License Plate Light Cover

Morning all, I made a thing. I own solid modeling software and a 3D printer. And I'm licensed to use them. My old rear license plate bracket light covers were dead when I purchased the truck. And I wasn't going to spend $$$ on "new" ones. They're rain covers for Pete's sake. So, I...

Thanks for sharing. A future reference place for 3D print files. I have plans to make and share when it is completed a wiper contact cover for early version wipers motors. I will load it here now.

FJ40 tach bezel and housing to fit FJ60 tach.

FJ40 OEM style tach bezel and housing by UTmotov8r

This is 2 pieces, the bezel and the housing. The housing is designed to fit an FJ60 tach. It attaches to the bezel by screws. You will need to remove the FJ60 tach from the housing and retain the clear front piece. It is located by slots in the printed housing but not secured. When attached...

This should be a sticky in my opinion.

I'm real close to making my work pull the trigger on a 3D printer. It'd be handy for a bunch of things like jigs. There's a ton of miscellaneous vehicle widgets I'd make.

That is so bad ass! This is your design?

 

[MOTOV8R]

Yes, 42 revisions worth. Here’s the post where i first started working on this.

Wild. They wouldn't even do in state for us but I get it, we have no relationship with them. Glad they went to a good home. They have evidently decided that what I did no longer meets the business model. Onward and upward I suppose. It was a lot of work but I really liked it.

forum.ih8mud.com

Theres someone on here who sells something similar but that came along after my post above and its not a great design. Its not mirrored from the rhd version and the dimensions don’t seem very accurate.

 

[EmanC]

Thanks to @EWheeler I've got an early style washer cap to reference the model. Will be making a normal cap version For those who have stabbed in a replacement motor and a reproduction version for those lucky enough to have the guts of the old mechanism.

There is a gasket inside the lid. My guess is a bead of RTV silicone the channel would work.

I’d like to see the parking brake cover made. I haven’t gotten into printing…. Yet

Saw this Holly Sniper mount posted


File here:

Family FJ Build : '76 40 Resto/Frame Off (a.k.a. the Japanese Baby Buggy)

It is OEM/factory. There's the D-strap up front that goes around the sheathing, that "double-C" clamp that pinches directly against the hardlines, then another D-strap that goes around the hoses near where the fuel line comes through. It's just left of the 8/9, but not listed as a specific...

Would it be possible to make it a column mounted pod to clamp on a early FJ40 steering shaft?

It could be done. Not sure its worth the effort vs. just getting some aftermarket pod style tach.
