Anything cool/useful (Defender related) that I can 3D print?

I now have access to a 3D printer that I can use unrestricted (within reason)... Most defender/LR related 3D print things I can find are dealing with toys. Would any of you have links that you can share (STL files are ideal) for 3D designs for actual parts?

Enlighten me?

you can search thingiverse... "land rover"
Items I have found useful -- seat recliner handles, seatbelt latch stay, wing grill

I have also spent some time creating some items (printing in PETG for uv stability, less smell than ABS):
Wing box - fit in left side wing under the vent cover (my initial print was not so great)
Flip cover for engine bay remote battery terminal
Shade covers for 2-1/8" gauges (center console)
keychain to match my customer LR 40th badge
custom parts for my MoD AC / heater conversion (non puma dash) - mod to lower dash box to run duct hose to vents - custom dash will follow
duct manifold @bulkhead, recirc vent cover (footwell), small manifold for defrost, customer left side defrost vent (fits in dash handle area - i have RHD)
manifold (img6447) fits in lower dash section where it connects to bulkhead - will equally divert air to 2x 2-1/2" ducts (dash vents), 1.75" to defrost splitter (img6452)

I have been using Fusion360 (free for non commercial) - self taught - lots of how to videos out there....

also - happy to share any STL files...or even fusion files if you want to modify / play with

Something that will route/divert the ac vents for more direct airflow. I have my kid in the passenger side and bc his child seat seats pretty high, I've been thinking of making a duct that attaches to the AC vent (via magnets) and allows me to use attach sem-ridgid 1 or 2" tube to get the AC pointed at him.
 
....and the printer broke, might have to replace the part that feeds from the spool. It somehow tangled and put too much pressure on the feeding mechanism and now just spins.
 
Wish someone would make a top of wing/fender vent that’s reversed to suck heat air out of the engine bay while you’re moving.
 
Cupholder insert to replace the original NAS cupholders, but with openings wide enough to accept something more than a soda can..
