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

The one think I’d love to see (broken record time) is an upper fender vent on the drivers side that draws heat from the engine bay as you are driving. Think if it as the reverse of the raised heater intake.

just need to create your reversed (forward facing) ducts.
the only issue...I am not sure how (what app) to modify the .obj file (I use Fusion3d)
 
anybody have an STL or otherwise file for a door button escutcheon, couldn't find one in the usual places online? conveniently my driver's door cracked yesterday.
 
I recently printed a couple more "Defendoors" that I designed in Fusion. I modeled these from the original, but added a tether point on the rear so when it pops off I don't unknowingly lose it in the mud or trail. I print these in TPU so they stay flexible. Let me know if anyone is interested in the stl file.

I’d like to see a blanking plate for the heater intake to use in the summertime on trucks that need the heater box overhauled

I'd love to take a look, I need to order different filament to print though.

Shoot me a PM and I will send you the STL file. I plan to print another one tomorrow. The print takes 16 +or- hours with my Ender S3, so it's not something I can make in high volume with my equipment. TPU is interesting material to work with. Bed preparation is critical because the first layer is very sticky and it is not rigid like PLA, so you cannot get pieces to just "pop" off the bed.

using an old thread to avoid another...I need something printed but dont have the volume on mine, can anyone print something around 350mm (longest dimension) in ABS? Thanks.

Try something simpler
