3D Printing and GX 460 parts

[r2m]

Here's the user's site with all the resins and settings for Anycubic Photon Mono X.
Anycubic has really developed a following and has some really good products.

Anyways, we would probably get back to the regularly scheduled thread...
Thanks to everyone else letting us rabbit trail a wee bit.

I need to get back to spending more time on some projects, and to get better at modeling. I'm stuck at beginner mode since I teach HS freshmen intro classes. I'm bogged down in just management. Here are some grab handle covers I made so I could mount paracord grab handles. Then of course the obligatory cup holder that still needs finishing.

Did you print the handles in nylon or carbon fiber? Anything else will probably shear at a layer or break.
Love the idea, but have you tested the strength of those grab handles? You may want to try hanging some weights (maybe yourself or someone else who's heavy?) to test unless you have at least a 1000 N load cell (and that would probably be on the light side).
Just saying that I'd hate to have one of those handles break on me when I'm holding on for dear life!

The plates are nylon and I need to print them again as the setting wasn't on full solid print. But the handles themselves are on a steel motorcycle tie down ring bolted through the printed plate into the chassis. These are just cosmetic to cover the odd holes in the factory location.

Ahhhh, Bravo!! I was hoping you'd designed it to not just yank on the 3D printed parts.

Note if you get someone to print your brackets, make sure they use the right material. Don't have it print in PLA, but prefer Nylon, ABS or some other UV, chemical and weather resistant material.

BTY, have you had a chance to try the under seat vent?
I was checking out something (unrelated) under the drivers seat and had to slide it full forward. I forgot that there are those vents under there.
So that's where the printed parts connects to! Does it fit well? I can now see how that could provide a lot more cooling. Not necessarily more CFM, but much cooler air, which in itself would be very beneficial.

 

[Acrad]

Unfortunately I haven't tested yet.. it's been a cold spring with rain, sleet and hail.

I did have to make the print 40% wider and then just slides right on. I think the one I was originally printing was for a '14+ Lexus IS

 

[TheNomad]

I'm going to bend up a plastic sheet and slide it under to test it. Should direct the flow as well for a test.

Anyone got a file for the rear Lexus emblem for the 470?

You do realize you're on the GX460 forum. Did you mean "460" instead of 470? Or are you just reaching out to several forums to see whats out there.
If you can't find one, depending upon your abilities, you can download a free 3D CAD program, make one yourself and have it 3D printed.
Another option is you can look for .STL files to see if someone has already made one, then all you need to do is 3D print it! Although, I just did a quick look-see if there were any .STL files, but couldn't find any.
For some $$, I may be persuaded to design and 3D print one. I made a personalized name plate for one of the MUDders using the GX style font.
I'll have to see what my time is like.

I've seen a center console storage tray for sale on Etsy & Amazon that's 3d printed. Anyone know if the creator has made the file available for members of any of the forums?

Just like the cup holder addon, I prefer to customize my prints to suit my needs/ideas. I added a ring of green glow-in-the-dark filament to the cup holders to better see them at night. For the storage tray, I'd like to do the same. Do some outlines with GITD and run an LED in there to charge up the filament. I asked the seller on Etsy if they offer the file for sale, but no dice. Took measurements of the empty console so I might have to try my hand at creating one myself (would be the first time.)

I purchased this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W3RWF63?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1 a few years ago and has worked great.
I did need to use a heat gun to move in the sides (that hang), just a little. Took all of about 5 minutes and it's been great since.

That is exactly what I need. Thank you.

This is my reddit post.
I've redesigned it since then, to fit iphone 15 in a case. works great.
I was planning to sell these, but the price I asked didn't work for anyone and I have no interest doing it for less. I consider the project closed and won't take any orders.

Sharing this just for your inspiration.

Feel free to use the idea and redesign it for your own devices.

Time to bust out the heat gun. Thanks!
