Time to unveil "Project Blackstone"

Ok new back piece has been printed, and is working well once reassembled. I also too the extra time to use heat set inserts instead of nuts to simplify assembly/disassembly...motor and electronics working well, its actually a little quieter than it was before. Now I'm in a holding pattern until the car comes home, hopefully in 2 weeks.

I think I'm going to hold off on printing a new radio bracket until my new printer arrives. It will print much faster and cleaner, and with water soluble supports, so I don't have to worry about quality and warping. That new printer likely won't arrive for at least a couple of months as it is new to market. Incidentally this will be the printer that I start using when I work on the 3d printed tail lights, and eventually the center console, dashboard, and potentially armrests and other things I would want to improve on.

Love the work. Nice to see someone in the hobby really putting 3d printing to work. Update when you get the new printer. I've been watching it, I'd really like to see some feedback from an actual user.
