3D Printing for the 944
After a nice Sunday afternoon drive, I decided to fix a few plastic things that had been bothering me.
One seat back tabs was missing since the PO, so I modeled an existing tab and printed it off. I used red ABS in a Makerbot Replicator 2X.
Then, to save the shins of unsuspecting passengers, I sketched up some glovebox limit hangers. They seem to be the right length, but I would modify the part of the hanger that is sandwiched in the glovebox door.
If anyone has other printing ideas, let me know! I thought this thread could be a could place to pitch ideas.
For those interested in models, I will be uploading to grabcad or thingiverse with all of my 944-related CAD.

Great work! Keep it coming, if I have any ideas I'll post em here. By the way, maybe its just that particular picture but your paint looks FANTASTIC! Was it very recently resprayed? It looks deeper and richer than factory guards red.

Curious what the per piece time and cost is on the printer? And what access you have to it. I may want to bump some things past you since I can't get parts like that through in my Corp. environment.
Have you considered printing 2 part split negative images with 2-3 deg drafts for fiberglass molds of smaller items.

Yeah, there are a couple finishing techniques I'd like to try.
Both great ideas! Build envelope is about 9"x6"x6".
