Re: Parts you wish existed for the 67-72 C10?

I appreciate all the suggestions so far!

To give a little more context:

The printer I'll be likely picking up has about a 13"Lx 9.5"W x 11" H footprint, so it's fairly large by consumer 3d printer standards.

The end-products don't have to be plastic, but I would have to be able to prototype them in plastic. Long-term I'd like to partner with my local CNC shop, as they can take in the files I make.

For something like a raised-spindle, I'd love to do something like that. The problem would be prototyping. I could print it, but I'm not sure I can do a material that would take the static weight of the vehicle. It might possible though if I used a carbon-fiber infused material. I wouldn't drive on it, but I could at least verify dimensions, fitment, and height goals.

Stereo bracket would be pretty easy as well. If you have any sketches or things you can send over, like a photo of where you want something, that could be handy.

I'd like to have the printer shortly after I return from SEMA.

I'm still learning this new program, so ramp up might be slow. But I'm also pretty quick to learn new technology. I have a few years under me in sketchup, but Fusion360 is much more powerful it seems.
