@antFJ can you print the front door hinge A-pillar seals? If so I'll send you some hinges to model to.
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!

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.
 
Have you done the door lock lever/knobs for a 1969 FJ40? Also the knob for the under dash 2wd/4wd cable ? Thanks, David
Door lock levers, this is just one person, there are a few others out there.
 
Thanks! No idea how I missed those!
Still looking for the 4wd cable knob, I'm sure I can get a generic knob when I figure out the thread....
 
Does anyone make reproduction inner shift boots?
For the transmission?


Transfer case as well depending on year.

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:

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.
