Hello! I don't have a 3d printer so if anyone could recommend one that would be able to handle printing this particular item I would appreciate that. Would like to get the files if I could please.

Also, this is a great solution to a problem. Thank you for making this available to all of us.

Please see this link for the section with the 3D printing and CAD files you asked for. (That particular sub-forum is near the bottom of the Carpokes home page.)

I would offer to print you one, but it requires the flexible plastic that I'm not set up for right now. Tagging @JetFuelOnly only to see if he'd be interested in printing it for you for a reasonable fee. He prints this material more regularly than I do... If he says no, I can do it, it just may take a while for me to do it.

Hello all,

That's amazing work and yes it is solving a real issue with 911 grill badges !

Do we know:

1) If somebody is providing those parts already 3D printed ? I would gladly pay for that.

2) Which company would 3D print them as far as we are providing them those STL file ?

Thx

I ended up finding a guy on Etsy that custom made mine to the exact specs I needed. We messaged back and forth and he charged extra for the custom sizing but it was well worth it and the size and product were spot on!!!
Good luck!

(I don't have my car with me right now, but attaching some of the pics I took during install! -- This DOES NOT even touch the grill. That was the whole point in doing this. It is so low profile that you barely can even see it on the edges. The screws that came with the badge are the original and the ones used to install the badge. Came out perfectly as you can see!)

Thank you for your response ! Do you have any photo to show the end result and are you happy of it ? I would also be interested by a photo showing the fixture and be sure that no scratch on the paint would come.

@JetFuelOnly has Carpokes' approval to make these for people. Not sure if he's still making them, but might be worth asking. I can make them in a pinch, but am woefully behind on other things at the moment...
