3D Printed Door Caps and Other Rubber Bits
Discussion
I'm picking up a project Lee02 and myself started a few months back . Carrying on the work Lee did for his Tuscan Convertible A post rubber moulding and hopefully extending the range to cover more models . The process is expensive and time consuming , because you just can't scan a part and print it (if only you could
) . Scanning produces a 3D bit map , but this has to be smoothed by applying 3D splined surfaces and made into a geometric mathematical model before printing. That's the expensive bit that cost lee £250 for his part. I've got Griff,Chim,Tuscan 2/Convertible ,Tam/Sag/T350 B post caps and Chim targa bar caps . I haven't any Tam A post samples and I don't know about Cerbera bits.
This the reverse engineered .stl file from Lee

And his 3D TPU printed part

I'll update this thread as to progress (it won't be quick) , but I would like to gauge the interest in purchase of these items for lets say £30 / pair ??? (off the top of my head figure)

I think Sag , Tamora and T350 share the same "B" frame part. (but I need to make sure .
The only "A" frame I have is the Tuscan Convertible and I guess the MK2 is the same
I don't know if the MK! is the same as a MK2 , but I guess not .. so yes I would need a sample. I hope using a mirror image would work between passenger and drivers side. I know TVR parts were moulded so theirs weren't the same , but all needed trimming to fit , because no two TVRs are the same

I believe the technical terms for these items is "MUCKETS" but I'm not sure Heath Briggs at X-Works is taking the piss and having me on , or his spell checker is miss behaving
