plastic-parts for 3d-printing

for people who would not mind having 3d-printed spareparts in their cars,
i have made a list of links to freely available 3d-models, which i deem useful.

those i've even made myself:

fronstspeakergrid screwcap (sticking by magnet)
liner nut
headlight adjustment ancor (wrong threading, the screw will tend to stick, but it did for me)

the source code comes with them, but since i know the matter,
feel free to ask if you need some adaptions.

parts out of the thingiverse:

front emblem
indicator cover
heater slider
heater speed knob
heater gear
sunvisor clip
window crank frame
internal door opener frame
external door handle frame
lock knob
seat knob (mk3)
seat slider
brake calipher tool (mk3)
engine lifter keeper
degreewheel for crankshaft

to be continued..
(regarding some stl files about clips and holders i do not find the corresponding thingiverse page anymore)

edit: dead links removed, knowledge library thread added

thank you :-)

recently i remade the stub on the back of the radio
which goes into a hole at the end of it's shaft.

does somebody know how to call it and this kind of shaft ?
such could help me with the description.

Radio location spigot, support spigot?

thank you, i will consider.

@Monkey i saw you did some blanks
for the switches in the window control panel :-)

since i've probably holed to much blanks (trailer light and stuff),
i think about redoing the blanks next to the radio.
however, this could be a nightmare in openscad.

finally my bolt for the radio:

carradio backsidestub (@PWardy sry 4 being ->stub<-born, but appreciate..)

to the admins:

what would you think about a subboard,
for instance 3D-Print under car parts or whatever is appropriate,
where one could roll out one mk2 plastic part per thread ?

thingiverse stuff:

differing golf ball gear knob (see here following this, pic here, too)

@Monkey i found caps like yours on thingiverse,
but also liner nut's, like mine (see threadstarter),
which do not have this additional bar on one side.

to be continued..

The plastic liner insets are still available new, it is a revised improved design so I have replaced all of mine.  Originals like these, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2768548, are in a bag in my attic.

Is this in your links?

No. 2A (191 501 159)



I was after some for a long time, before eventually turning up a pair.

When I saw them in the flesh thought they could've been printed very easily, saved me a lot of time!

Sods law, since found that someone has had the same idea.

Right, they're getting printed tonight then!
Plan to start my rear beam rebuild this weekend, so that was perfectly timed

Is that where the speed sensor goes

Certainly appears so, close enough to pick up that cage that usually goes on the back of the disc.

@L90E it's not in my links. i came across, but have not thought it would be needed.

i made a picture of my screwcap (first link of the thread):

unfortunately, the magnet shines through the black resin.

i tried painting the part, but this did not turn out that well
(too shiny and small bubbles on the frame).

is there a way for getting the surface right ?

How about replacement side skirt clips?
I recall most of mine on the reverse side of the skirt are broken.
I can see the sill mounts (part number 191 853 913) are still available but from memory mine are all OK.
Not sure how durable the plastic used to create the parts is though but if there is a way to make them easily replacable that wouldn't matter.

edit:
Just found the replacement 'pattern' sill covers on VW Heritage not too expensive if I could extend the shopping list to £75 (edit2 to get free postage) but surely replacement clips would be cheaper.

@t2000, nice easy part, indeed. you could do it, i could do it (measures given). is there demand ?

@AndyBa, ah skirt clips, they are called. if cheap, i would have taken originals or replica.
but since there are so many parts on my mk2's which are 3d printed,
replacing them all would probably burn money, but there might be occasions.

recently i posted a picture about a printout of my radio support spigot (see reply 5, backsidestub).
it can be found here.
