    3D printed car parts!

    I use a bunch of different programs... At work I use Creo parametric 2.0 and at school we used Inventor. My favorite free program that I use at home is PTC Creo Direct Modeling Express 6.0, but it's nothing compared to Creo or Inventor...

    3D printed car parts!

    Not sure what they look like and I have a 74. Shoot me a PM if you have any pics or part I could borrow to copy and I'll see if I can do anything with it.

    3D printed car parts!

    They are coming out with new printing materials all the time. I made the dash vent using ABS and I don't think there would be any problem using it in a daily driver. The only potential issue I would see is the strength of the mounting tabs, they might be too weak to thread the nut onto like the...

    3D printed car parts!

    For parts that big and with that much geometry it would take an SLS printer, which is out of the average persons budget. This kind of printer starts with a powder and uses a laser to cure it layer by layer. The printer I have uses much cheaper technology.

    3D printed car parts!

    Yes and no depending on the situation... I think re-pop dash vents go for about $50 a pair and it will cost me about $10 in material to print them. It also took a lot of time to make the 3D models and would take about 10 hours for the printer to make both parts. It has the biggest benefit...

    3D printed car parts!

    I'm sure it could be done with a little design work. That's the cool thing about 3D printing, if there are flaws with the first design you can just change a few details and print it again. I got started with 3D printing at work about a year and a half ago and it saves soooo much money on...

    3D printed car parts!

    Thanks for all the positive response! I took all the measurements from the existing part and made a 3D model from the measurements. The material really isn't too expensive, about $30 - $45 per kg. The vent took about 4.5 hours to print. I'm working on a guitar body now that I had to make in 9...

    3D printed car parts!

    Hey Guys! I recently got a 3D printer and started this thread to show off some of the cool stuff I've been making with it. On the off chance I do ever get around to putting my interior back together, there a LOT of plastic pieces that I have that are just too far gone to use. Here are some pics...

    65 Barracuda 4-speed???

    Will I have any issues swapping the 4-speed and rear end from a 1965 barracuda into my 74 dart? I may be able to get one at a reasonable price, but want to make sure the parts will swap over before I look at the car. I know I would need a new bellhousing to fit my slant, but what about...

    shopping for quarter panels

    Thanks for all the replies! So far it seems like Tamraz is the winner on price. From what I have found, AMD does make a quarter panel that has the correct marker hole for a 74. All others need modification

    shopping for quarter panels

    Thanks! My mind is made up on AMD, but there are several dealers out there. I'm interested to see recommendations on who to buy from. I can get what I need from Ebay for about $430 shipped. Does that sound reasonable? Is there an AMD rep on the forum that I could buy from?

    Anyone know where I can find a wheel arch replacement panel for an 03 Ram?

    Good question. I see a LOT of newer rams running around with rusty bedsides! I didn't think dodge would recall them though.

    I know it's not an a-body, but Im trying to help a friend fix a rust hole on the left side wheel arch on the bed of his 03 Ram 1500. Does anyone know where I can get the best price on a replacement panel? It's too new of a truck to find in a junkyard around here and I don't want to trust a...

    buying from FABO members

    Did you use paypal? If so, you could file a claim and they would require you to pay the return shipping but make the seller refund the cost of the part and the original shipping. Unfortunately I had to do this once when I bought a cupholder off of a member at Dakota-Durango.com. He said the...
