As well as this current R230 restoration project I am currently involved with, I have decided to get into a new hobby, 3D printing. I've ordered my first 3d printer, a bambulabs A1. It's something that's always interested me, so I took the plunge and I'm currently waiting for it to arrive.

One of the reasons I thought this would be a good hobby to supplement car restoration, is to be able to print hard to find or expensive plastic parts. For example, the little flaps that fill the gap of the roof strut when the roof is down. They seem to break frequently and Mercedes solution is to replace the whole trim panel at huge expense. Also the sun visor mirror flaps. The plastic hinge breaks and even second hand sun visors cost a fortune on eBay.

Are there any members here into 3d printing? Are there any files of parts around?
