My buddy got tired tinkering with one of his 3d printers so I bought it off him at a nice discount... Once I finish setting it up and figuring everything out hopefully I can print some repair items for the Xploder... def want to see if I can print a replacement for the plastic housing for the sensor that sits behind the rearview mirror that handles the auto headlights. Also think I'll be able to print some interior clips to fix the trim piece above the driver's side door that fell off, lol.
Have been tinkering with the 3d printer over the past week... got pretty good with printing in PLA and TPU 95a... picked up some ASA filament so I can print durable UV resistant materials for vehicles and outdoors/etc On that note.. does anyone happen to have a photo and some rough measurements of the plastic housing for the headlight auto lamp that sits behind the rearview mirror? Mine had shattered into a million pieces and I'd like to try and use Fusion to make a replacement in ASA...
Long time no see! LOL.. Not a lot to report lately.. I've been driving the Xploder every day pretty much with no issues.. other than my AC still not working, of course! haha. I still need to fix the back driver side door and figure out my fog light issue but car itself is driving great. I've been slowly tinkering on the ZL1 but hopefully will have it finished within a few weeks and I can return my focus onto the explorer. Also, still playing with my 3d printer and learning Autodesk Fusion to design my own stuff. Just recently modeled up my own Arlo 4k camera and solar panel mount to hook to a front home mounting system I made initially to mount some Govee spot lights, lol.
FINALLY got the Camaro off the QuickJack lift and back on the ground and finished up (mostly)... Looked over some old photos and footage and it's been... 9 MONTHS!!
Quick wash as it had 9 months of dust on it...
Now for an alignment and a few other things and I can focus more on the Xploder especially rear driver side door, lol.
On that note.. does anyone happen to have a photo and some rough measurements of the plastic housing for the headlight auto lamp that sits behind the rearview mirror? Mine had shattered into a million pieces and I'd like to try and use Fusion to make a replacement in ASA...
