michel Posted 8November, 2023 Report Share Posted 8November, 2023 With a cpl mates continue too play with the material & technical capability offered through 3D printing Needed a cup splitter replaced after my new OEM, came away within an hour of driving - shameless and the culprit too remain nameless so printed one. The custom build 600mm cubed printer allows alot more scope The test print is in TPU - flexible ,resilient abrasion and chemical resistant . The printer is having another print head added allowing for combining multiple print materials within the design the next test will have this , too add into the print areas of stiffness and rigidity too engance the performance and material properties of yhd finished part basically a lip/splitter thats fit for purpose IMG_0641.MOV tomo and JWM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joz Posted 8November, 2023 Report Share Posted 8November, 2023 Will be interesting to see how durable the material is. I’m very reluctant to keep replacing my 996tt splitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very reluctant to keep replacing my 996tt splitter. TPU , highly durable as can be some of tbe ASA ABS etc as long as material is well matched to part/use everything including OEM has a limit and use by date however the lip splitter a part , that gets lunched regularly , so put aside your babied $$$ OEM and run bout with lesser rep , though no less in function . Good for track rats . and road oriented drivers Not for wash and wax queens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
