I printed a gear knob, gear gaitor bezel:


Wheel hub centering rings:


Battery terminal cover


Cam rollbar mount:


Etc.

In general, have a look around www.thingiverse.com, maybe you'll find something that interests you. (My designs: http://www.thingiverse.com/alga42/designs)

Please print me a blonde. about 6ft tall, massive assets, very low morals, owns a brewery, likes washing up, loves fast cars, with an identical twin sister (for my best mate). Is that asking too much?

How about producing a wedge to go behind the fog light to make it sit vertically?

If you do 2 I will buy one off you

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

It's all open source. The printable parts for my particular printer can be found here: https://github.com/josefprusa/PrusaMendel, but if I were you I'd be looking at the Prusa i3 design: https://github.com/josefprusa/Prusa3
Most of the cost of the printer comes from the other parts, mind.

Looked at the examples of things you can make with the 3d printer and there doesn't seem to be anything worth making.------------------------------------------------
However it reminds me of the first home computers - they didnt do a lot. You could write a program to make the screen flash in different colours., draw wierd shapes or play simple tunes. ----fast forward to today.

I think this technology will be HUGEin the next few years
