I've printed stuff for my 964 and 914. I'm in Japan so printing a single part that I dont have to ship makes sense if its an easy drawing. Also there is being able to make stuff that doesn't exist.. For example I'm using 2 locking seat rails on each seat instead of the stock single locking because my seats twist and slide back with the sudden jolt of power from the 2.7 mfi. To take the seats out seats 3 hands so I printed 2 wedges that slide in and lift up the locking rails so I can slide my seats out. I'm also printing spacers to raise the front of the recaro cs seat in my 964 as there is no tilt. Once you get going the possibilities are really endless.

Its fun and the thing about the printer is that even though it takes time you can be doing something else while its getting laid up- unlike fabbing something out of wood or metal.

OP- nice stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Love this part! Finally gave a reason to buy a printer. Suggestion for this size of job?

I am seriously considering buying a 3D Prusa Mk4. Thanks for the input!

It's also nice for just mucking around if you don't want to spend 500 dollars on something like a hockey puck.

I think people are missing the point when they dismiss printing. Sure it doesn’t make sense for commonly available parts but it’s awesome when you need a part that’s nla or like previously said, a $1 part with $50 in shipping charges

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) @mepstein nailed it.

I have been posting the few moderately useful and / or entertaining things I've designed on Thingiverse as well. Mostly small NLA parts or simple tools. I usually print in ABS which should be more durable and take higher temps. For this crowd:
  • Cylinder hold down
  • Relay wire hold down clip
  • Manual throttle rod end cap
  • Fuel rail clip
  • Gap gauge

That's great. I recently picked up a 3D printer and wanted to model/print a hockey puck was well. You beat me to it!

glad to contribute! Let me know how it works out. Fit my car perfectly, but my car has some bedliner sprayed on the bottom of it so let me know if it needs any tweaking.

Peter.

Thanks for sharing! I have a Prusa 3D printer...purchased it to print n scale items for my son's train set. So, when finding myself not able to find a part number for a spoiler brake light clip for my 997, I used a caliper and free online CAD software, modeled the part and printed it. Obviously, not as easy as adding to my pelican part shopping cart, but I made it and it worked!

My latest creation was a cell phone holder for the 914 ashtray slide.

Can't remember where I saw it, but out West a couple guys are printing houses with some sort of cement material and a huge overhead grid

Just found your post. I decided to start a github where I will be trying to cad model the entire porsche 914. Any chance you would like to have the parts added?
