hallo ich suche diesen Artikel dringend, ich habe ein Auto in der Lackiererei und ohne diesen Artikel kann ich nicht sein danke für die Antwort
I don’t see any 3D printing here. I see more, of what I would do, make a silicone mold and copy the originals. These are flat, easy to clay up and pour copies…I’d say the top most image of the cast copy is a short shot, having an air bubble stop the material from poor venting near the boss…
3D printing is inherently not water tight through the very process, and, therefore would not be the best choice in this application.
Even a Stratasys Eden printer (would leave some stepping marks) in Tango black material or TangoBlackPro would be a poor choice given heat on a car roof in sun and the combination of the UV would destroy the print…this is in no disrespect to Stratasys, or their amazing materials, but I think they’d agree, their prints are for proof of concept, prototype purposes; not subject to warranty and series production abuses and longevity.
Hill Tseng, release the .STL files…please.
If not; for those of you looking for parts NLA, which is a shame for a seal/gasket on your roofs, try to find some and make copies;

Ideally you’d use a pressure chamber with overfill and proper venting…

I am asking that if someone else could benefit from the data, there are ways to share that so that parts/molds/etc. could be made through 3DHUBS or HUBS d com…and other locations. Or, if you have the capability to make parts, it seems people could benefit.
I know myself, and many others come to this forum looking for help, and more importantly to help others and keep our w203s the best they can be.
