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!

Those are what I'm referring to. However, The hinges I sell have a thicker flange than oem. Would those fit the same shape/profile, but 1/4" material?
So how do we go about ordering some of these items?

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.

Sir you promised pics and info about the setup.
I have experience with FDM printers but the quality of the prints is not good enough. After 2-3 years all the PETG stuff breaks.

Anyone any experience with this?
Just found it... Need expensive parts to make up for that price though.

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.

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 older one - CR-6SE but modified to run engineering grade filaments at ~350C on the hotend.
Here are some pictures:

Back from holiday - I got a chance to try out some of the parts and I think i solved the FST flex issue.
- Thread starter
- #59
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 drastically reduces the cost by almost 10 times and completely eliminates the flex. Shaft is designed to be epoxied into the handle.
