so glad i bought a set. I wished i bought 2 actually. color match and quality was good. I think A.i. One Designs is making them but it's pretty pricey. He's on facebook . Looking back they only charge $35/side in 2021

Last I checked the few places that were making stuff for red interiors had terrible color matching, the printed parts were extremely bright compared to the darker red of the stock plastics. Obviously I'm comparing new printed plastic filament to aged injection molded plastic, but I would like it to be at least somewhat close to matching lol.

I'm happy to print you a set, but the reality is your probably better off painting the color to match. It's significantly easier that mix paint than resin or ordering a bunch of different filaments hoping it matches.

Edit***
I just got a K2 plus and it came with a color swatch! If you have a small red piece I can see if any match up, and if they do we can make this happen.

I can send you my crusty door vents or even a spare seatbelt triangle I have if you'd like. No picture really does the red justice, either way too bright or way too dark.

Yeah, that would work well. I'll shoot you a message.

Hi, I'm brand new to the forum and have been into recreating parts for the RX7 FD and some bits for the R33 and MX5 NA. Anyway I'm working on a model for the little white clips that keep the window belt trims in:




this is the first version but I've already made some improvements to strengthen it, also had an issue with the flow rate on my ASA.. I'm also working on defrost vents:




These are nearly done, they're very simple and fix to the dash with double sided tape. Took ages to design as I wanted them simple and easy to print, they also delete the middle cover by being extended in the middle on either side.


Looking for a recommendation on a 3d scanner, I scanned my entire front bumper and the R33 bumper with a Creality ferret but I returned it due to the **** software and inability to scan small objects and some black objects without a lot of help.. I've been eyeing up the revopoint pop 3 but 100% sure yet. I have a few things on cults, random clips and stuff but not sure if we're allowed to share links.

Came across this while looking for push clip models, might be useful for door cards that need repairs. Door Card Clip Retainer

Working on the trim that sits above the firewall, by far the most complicated design I've done!
