Dang! I searched high and low to find more pictures of that part, surprised I didn't come across yours. Thanks for sharing, its alot more simple than I had imagined honestly, thought the flanges would consist of more than just 2 flat surfaces with a bellow in the center to apply outward pressure, but hey thats the KISS method. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Anybody got a model for the interior panel push clips? Need a bunch to finish off my red interior and would like to print them since I already have a filament color match.

Anyone have a model for the dimmer switch blank? The lower left corner curves in, so my limited tinkercad knowledge isn't allowing me to make that transition.

A1 Designs makes one. But he sure ain't gonna give you a file (plus his stuff isn't 3D-printed anyways -- though he likely has something that could generate an STL file)

Be careful handing out your rare parts to alleged 3D file makers. I have handed out three of these to 3D printing guys, only for them to keep the part and ghost me.

That might have been where I got the Facebook photo from, it was pre order $190 I believe. Thank you, with all these parts being made i never know what to expect quality wise.

A1 Designs stuff is beyond legit. Literally better than OEM.

Bubbletech has had them for years and he had a couple picked up at DGRR this year. They've never been listed, you have to ask him directly.

Fit isn't great between the radio trim and gauge cluster face. He said mine was an anomaly and asked for me to send it back, I haven't because I don't want to be out of the parts for weeks. With that said, I have looked at that area on other people's cars who have the parts and they have the same alignment issues.

Hey all, been out of the loop for awhile. Life is crazy

E.Sunshade bolt cover
F. Rear seatbelt Mounting bolt cover
G. Hatch strut mounting pivot cover
H. Door plastic foam bridge braces (set0
I. RHD/LHD middle counsel switch holders (2 switch)
J. RHD/LHD middle counsel switch holders (3 switch)
K. RHS/LHS small "sails"
L. Mirror base

​​​​​
But the ones that there are currently models for from that photo are:
A (I modeled the entire driver side plastic, AND the bridge piece)
B (made by someone else I believe)
H (yet again made by someone else, but I'm thinking about making a technical drawing so people can either send it out or make it themselves out of metal)
I
J

I tried working on the sails for a long time, awhile ago and got frustrated cause the shape is so organic and weird and I hated how they fit in the car. The mirror base is another one I have to just draw up as a technical drawing so people can have it made as a piece of aluminum. The rest of the individual screw covers and clips are just weird shapes that I'm going to have to sit with for awhile now that I'm FINALLY able to jump into this hobby again.

Also saw on Ebay that the map pocket lid model is getting sold. Idk who is making them so I can't stand behind the quality of it, but the model seems to be the revised version I made of TsiaOne' model. So i guess you can buy those now for $50 lol

If you need a baffled oil filler neck, I was working on a cad design for fun that I currently have a friend SLM printing out of aluminum. If it turns out good ill post the file

Not sure if you saw it, but @need-a-t2 and I did some testing last year and these were what we came up with. Not sure if there is a better off the shelf match for FDM, would most likely have to mix some resins together.
