3D Printing Projects - Truck parts and tools

I think I found one on the Eghey.
It attaches directly under the heater box on the bottom side very close to the center position. It directs air out the bottom-center of the heater box to the footwell area.
I purchased it as soon as I saw it.
 
Quick project this evening for custom bumper adapters for the front bumper sensors on my 2016 3500hd.

First test print was printed vehicle without supports and installed with a perfect fit in the sensor but snapped when removed due to the layers being on the weak bending axis. Second print I rotated the part 45 degrees and printed with support and it works perfect without breaking when removed.

I had a couple projects come together today. Both being my designs from scratch because I didn't like anything I found available to download.

First was an AMS riser with storage for extra build plates.

Next was to recycle the handle from my original AMS lid onto the Sunlu AMS dryer.

I guess it was only a matter of time before my designs were stolen and sold on Amazon. Anyone want to help me play wackamole and leave negative feedback along with reporting the sellers? They even went as far as to steal my photos.

The game is unwinnable. It's like prairie dog shooting at a massive den. I spent years doing it, ebay, amazaon, etsy, etc. I only got a few ebay listings taken down due to registered trademark infringement where they even copy the logo.

BUT, it sure does feel good for the first time or two you get one taken down. So in that regard its worth it.
 
The other way to look at it is that letting these vendors battle each other for pricing helps out the enthusiast who doesn't own a printer.

The down side is it hurts the guy with his own design from 3D classic car parts at the same time. That was not my intention.

Unfortunately you can't know what would happen when you try to be good person, but I wouldn't worry about hurting the 3d classic car parts guy, you didn't intentionally hurt him.
At the same time you helped plenty of enthusiasts DIYers.
 
We will see how it goes. I found the official way to report copyright infringement on Amazon and should have an answer in a couple days.
