Rocker oiling

Files are here. Remember that every printer is a little bit different, you might need to tweak the models by a +/- a few thou. to get the fit right.

Those guides make the job far easier. Wish I had thought of it myself but I’m not that smart.

Having access to a printer opens up your mind about what can be easily accomplished. I prototype a lot of my stuff in plastic before the first chip comes off a mill. Sometimes v1 is just right, but just as often I tweak some detail and it's just a matter of some cad and a print running overnight while I'm in bed.

That is a cool idea and it's nice of you to offer the files up, and even make them.

I am having a ton of fun with my new 3D printer and looking forward to applying it to my car projects, simple and complex. Need to get better with the CAD side. I envision a lot of custom wire and cable holders, brackets, plug wire harnesses, and maybe some components for a custom dash and console. Need to figure out if any of the new filiment materials can take the under hood heat and stand up to fuel. I see lots of opportunities for custom carb spacers with venturi's and other do-dads.

Heat, I've had good luck with ABS/ASA. I have custom fan brackets out of ABS for my electric fan that are mounted directly to the radiator and have lived 2+ years. I haven't tried fuel compatibility, but I have used nylon-carbon fiber for strength and PA6 has good resistance to gasoline.

I've used that for high strength. We're using it for structural components this year on the robotics team I mentor on.
