3D printer ideas for the toyobaru
 
If you could 3D print something for the BRZ/FRS, what would you print?

I really want to get a 3D printer or use a 3D printing service to really personalize my BRZ with one off pieces, obviously I would sand, prime, paint, whatever to make the piece look good and match the car...

inserts where the FRS blinkers are, sorta match the pattern on the bottom, im installing BRZ headlights asap so it would fill the places nicely and look really clean.

not really FOR the car, but if you could make a 3D hot wheels sized model of the car (doesn't even need to have working wheels), I think that would be pretty cool and I'd buy one if it looked good. Kind of like a paperweight or desktop toy. I still haven't been able to find a diecast model of the BRZ yet...

I got some ideas time to bust out my solidworks and rendering skills lol

I'm currently working on a custom cup holder/iPhone dock. Here is my first test block just to make sure I have the shape correct. It's a perfect fit. Now I just have to decide how I want the dock positioned, and the overall look.

Not much to give for details at this point. It's a direct replacement for the factory cup holder. My test fit piece took about 20 hours to print. I'm probably going to do an angled dock with a cup holder behind it.

I print for RC (remote control) purposes. This should be fun.

It took 20 hours because it's solid, which is completely unnecessary. For stability reasons, something thick is desired but a 1/4" with some ribs would pretty much be the same. It's only for fitment testing right?

It's not solid, it's 10% fill. It would have printed much faster, but I was in no hurry so I had it set on medium layer resolution.

Oh ok.

How about a Dash cover for the bump that says "FR-S" or something like that?

How long can objects be. I'm a noob when it comes to 3D printing

I'd make a new "vent" panel design every other week.
