I installed a third brake light extension bracket to accommodate my 35" tires on my non-sas badlands. Moving the assembly up to clear the tire changed the location of the little rubber bumpers that normally rest on the tailgate. I designed a slip-on extension to extend that little bumper to...
the ones I'm posting should be retained by the bolt - I want to put bolts back in so I don't lose them. I'd just put them in the crash bars in the attic but the nut is welded to frame. too Lazy I guess to get another bolt. With the welded nut, they shouldn't rattle.
I'm not sure why - never used multiple bodies as parts in slicer before - but I had to increase shells from 2 to 3 to get any inner walls at all - with 2 shells, they were only applied to outer walls, so it should be pretty rigid.
No. Posted model and anyone can print.
Just finished the first front one - since they're asymmetric hole patterns I may have to do two version for the front. I'll go out and look again. I'll post models when complete - for the 3d printing modelers here, I tried something new this time I've...
Works great - re-did it with only one hole to keep bolts in place - only need one for retention - it's snug so you might not even need the bolts. PLA should even work fine for this application without the sun but I might use TPU if it starts to deform.
Now to work on the front - the geometry's...
I can't believe no one has designed an insert for those in place of where the crash bars would go. I guess I'll need to do that - removed my crash bars today for some 35" upgrades and now it's wide open again. I'll try to post here when done but if you don't see it in a while, check on...
By the way, if anyone does this with a heatset insert I’d love to see a video of your technique. The shape and dimensions aren’t particularly favorable to that to my mind. But if you have skills, do share them please.
BTW, if someone hits the pin with the door hard enough to break it they're more likely to have larger problems from chipping paint on their door or body than worrying about the strength of 3DP.
All (mostly) technically true but really not an issue for this print - it's functionality is pretty light duty and PLA works just fine for many functional applications (and can fail more friendly than other filaments) - this print really works quite well and it won't be in the sun if you keep it...
I used PLA first then out of abundance of caution due to heat of car in Houston decided to use PETG. Either should work on this part. Strength isn’t much of an issue. There is some shear considerations but mostly compression and almost no bending stress if threaded to shoulder. It’s just a guide.
You put one in the lower bracket and it helps you align the door with that bracket to he’ll avoid inadvertently chipping paint on edge of door against body of bronco.
The 3mf file should open in slicers. It’s basically an enhanced STL format like a step. Did you try it? If not I’ll convert. All of them should be on makers world.
I wouldn’t bother printing this on its side. Threads might not be as clean if you do and this has virtually no bending strength...
If you're using Bambu Studio, ctrl-click the model in the Prepare tab and either select clone and enter number of desired copies or select "Fill Bed with Copies." Then slice and print.
Yes, on most slicers (including Bambu Lab), when you prepare the file for printing you can select the model and "clone" or fill plate with copies or other command to do that. I printed 4 at a time.

It was pretty easy to model - should work fine - I'll carry a few in the glove box.
