You are allowed your own design ideas.  This is a democracy after all ?.

 

As a 3D modeler, I can tell you that the labor to create the model for printing would cost a heap.  Add the printing time to create the large part and all of a sudden the OEM price is not so bad.  Plus the quality of the printing will be substandard unless you go to the highest quality machine and plastic media.  Ca-ching!

 

Ok sorry for my ignorance, but dont u guys have like scanners for that? Like couldnt u just scan an original alluminium grill and printit out in plastic on a machine? Maybe on an sls printer even?

wellllll ..... @TobyB currently has 18,955 MORE posts than you ... so he has a bit of cred around here

 

and all the grills are aluminum ... 

 

is there just one section that you want plastic?

picture are free and easy ... and can explain a ton...

maybe that will help your question ... and chill the scene here a bit

 

thx!

Yea i seen him posts on almost every topic. Thanks for cooling me down tho. Anyway basicaly i have a early model with a missing grill. But i dont like the look of the chrome grills or the price lol, like if i where to buy the oem grills i would paint them black anyway. So to me a plastic early model grill makes more sense coz itl probably not bend or dent and itl be black.

...because printing anodized aluminum isn't as easy as it looks?

Was speaking about plastic duude. Who frikin talks about printing in alluminium

Hi, new member here. Ive been searching and cant find anyone who has 3d printed the front side grills for a early 2002. Why is that?
