Always entertaining

Something to consider for the rubber seal material (if your printer can handle it). I've held a few of this material printed, it's a nice flexible piece. Have you tried smoothing out the surfaces in an acetone vapor box?

You can't smooth TPU. The acentone vapor is for ABS mainly, does not work with TPU. For TPU the only thing is print at a finer layer height but then the print time is doubled so I would be looking at 12 hrs of print time for one complete set which would not make it cost effective for me to provide it to the community at a reasonable cost. I don't want to end up charging $80 for a set. I simply want to recoupe my cost and make a little on top to keep my 7 on the track and keep my hobby going.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

I am back.
I've been super busy and this virus deal has changed schedules so I've only been able to make 4 sets that I think are good. I had to tweak the print to get them correct.
They are up now, you can search 79-85 MAZDA RX7 WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM COVER RUBBER KIT and they should come up in the search on google.
I appreciate anyone's feedback on this.
Thanks everyone again for the support.
P.S I got the new printer and will be working on the wiper nut cover soon.

Cover is in the works.
This new printer is a whole other animal.
Is not as set it and forget it like my other one as there is significant post processing to the parts.
Hopefully I can crank out a prototype within the next 2 weeks.

not to hijack, but my wipers pop up,move up about 4 inches ballpark when running at decent speed. no speedo, but I would ballpark it at about 80 mph + and the wipers blow up. any ideas/fixes???

Can you explain again? Thanks.

they move up, like you turned the wipers on. I have to turn wipers on and then back off to get them to original position. assuming it's just slack in the assembly, but that's a lot of slack/play.
I will add that's all the parts have been removed when doing the build, but all the clips and such seemed to be in good condition and I have the wipers adjusted correctly so that when they are turned off they go just down to the trim. Just seems like a lot of slack, or maybe even the wiper motor has a little play and that's what does it, but when I get into 4th, which goes to 120 mph, and am getting on it, the wipers pop up every time from wind.

park function??? you messing with me right now?, or is that a real thing in the wiper motor? I ask as the wiring is a hack job, and little chance that is hooked up if it is a thing.

Thank you. I would have never imagined. And no, I don't feel slop. so it's probably that park function.

Quick update to everyone. Due to the virus, there is a massive shortage of material for these parts. The one that do have it are charging 3 times the original cost. As soon as things normalize, we will get back into it.
The material for the nut cover should be here soon though, so that's a positive.
Thanks to everyone for understanding.
