So I got a new 'bot at Work

and I'm collecting useless things to 'practice' on and learn my Machine before I try to attempt more complicated builds & models (eg the working EJ

Upholsterer?? Can't say I've ever considered sourcing some from an upholsterer.

I just buy 10+ of every style my car needs from partsouq at next to nothing and slowly burn through them as they get wrecked upon removal. 

[Joker]

anyway : Googled 3d Print Subaru & got a few things in mind / to try

My buddy and I designed and 3D printed fog light covers for my WRX. 10% infill on the driver's side one, 30% on the passenger's side one.

There’s a whole thread on legacygt.com where people have made random 3D printed bits.
 

I imagine if you can get gauge holders sorted for the vents and centre cubby for the 4th gen Legacy’s you’ll make a few bucks for sure.
The only other guy I know of making them 3D printed style currently is pretty rough so if you could improve on that there is a heap of potential. He’s gone with a modular approach where you clip more pods on which doesn't look all that tidy

I nearly hit print on a full Scale Storm trooper Helmet just now, but only have half a roll of white... 1/3rd scale it is

[ginganinja]

I had a friend 3D print an AFM pipe without the AFM in it for when I tuned the car on the Link ecu. Keeps the intake set up looking factory and means you don't have the AFM sitting in the intake doing nothing and looking messy.

[Joker]

the design stage is the tricky part to get my head around, even with 20+ years CNC / CAD experience, another dimension is doing my brain in, even though I know what I want to achieve TinkerCAD training is helping

 

 

[Technikhaus]

You make me want a 3D printer even more, quite a few things I've wanted to print in the past, and just can't ever get myself to pull the plug...

[Joker]

yeah I held out for ages aye

 

still a neat toy!

[Gripless]

I’m trying not to buy one as well. 
now they have carbon fibre and glass thread filament it’s tempting. 

 

also there are some slicer programs that can make print not 2D layered but real 3D but it’s still very printer dependent and not user friendly. 
 

wait until you find out things like 3D camera can be scanners to get rough models. Like Xbox connect etc for low cost. 
 

 

[Joker]

hah yeah thats exactly my application (low res scans of existing patterns in my workshop either to digitise them, or improve / scale invent new products etc

 

OR NOS taillights for the Avenger & a Sunny Badge for the Datsun.... etc

[Bugle]

How much to whip one of these up for the desk at work?

 

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2425465

[Joker]

hahaha wait till you find the uncensored group on FB or the naughties section on cub3d

 

Bout $5 an hour to cover costs eh, and these things are not fast

 

I'd estimate probably 15-20 hours in that aye depending on scale etc

 

thus not impossible but not cheap!

 

I might just do one of those one day for fun (and actually see)

[swamp]

Do you need a big-ish printer to do things like gauge pods/cupholders etc? Considering they are bigger items 

[Joker]

I'm not an expert but depends how good your superglue is

 

mine is 300x300 (footprint) so not an issue (and 400 high build space)

[Joker]

I've just finished a 2 day print & reliase I need some Nuts & stuff to assemble

Just had a request for this from @DRFVDR

Cup holder for Subaru Brumby/Brat

Summary

I was sick of having to balance my morning coffee on the way to work in between my legs so I designed this. It fits in the rectangular slot next to the hand break it may be a little lose but some electrical tape used to shim it works well.

It fits two regular 375ml cans or anything that is a similar size.

It also makes a prety good arm rest when there isn't a cup in it.

Anyone else?

[NTYCME]

How much would it be for someone to print 2 of these?

3D Printed Front Door Speaker Brackets for Subaru by bLiTzJoN | Pinshape

Assuming theyll fit 04 wrx?

[Joker]

I'd say a fair amout of time @ around $5 an hour would be worth more than the $25 you can get a pair for eh (Plus shipping) inless there's someone near you on here

 

could just get these : https://www.crazysystems.co.nz/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1550

 

or bug @matipo in Hamz (Car Stereo Shop

 

hecka they are even all of $3 if you wanna wait for these
