What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

[Apparition]

How long did it take to print?

About 4 hours once I figured out how to make the ASA stick took a couple tries.

WTF is happening...

That's what I printed yesterday, since most of my oil changes are coming up next month. My own take on the Michael Pro system. One for my F150, and one for the TJ. The funnel is in red, and the bottom adapter tube is in "transparent," both PETG. Transparent is about as see-through as a nun's habit.

For the F150, my dumb ass mounted the winch solenoid box on the side of the battery so I can barely fit a regular funnel into the fill hole. So I've got a small angled piece at the bottom that threads in first.

I’d have used PTFE if I had some. A normal funnel works for mine but if I can lock it in I think it’ll be more better. What I’d like for it is a cap and a lid. I asked the guy that modeled it and he said he’s thinking about it.

I don't think my F150 adapter is quite oil-tight, so it might need tweaks. The 4.0L one is though. What sold me on the screw-in design is greater flow... less time holding a 5-qt oil bottle up in the air. I've spent too many minutes metering the flow of oil so as not to overwhelm the funnel.......

I had to adapt the Ford tube for the low clearance to the battery/winch box. Fusion is teaching me tons... lofting two non-concentric cylinders of different diameters and thicknesses was the trick I had to learn this morning:

I've been getting a lot of transmission work done, and installing various six-speed related upgrades: B&M sport shifter, replacing the absolutely obliterated floor pan cover, replacing the leather bag, and ultimately the shifter bezel I ordered in February that got 3D printed in Poland (laser sintered, not FDM) and is somewhere in Texas now, last time I checked (but that's another story).

Having removed the six-speed shift knob center cap once, I knew I absolutely didn't want to keep doing that as work was going on, but having the hole there annoyed me. I quickly modeled a little plug for it and printed it in PLA+ about two months ago. Yesterday, I went ahead and printed it in TPU, since I recently purchased my first roll of it. Hopefully it's only got to last me another week or so, because that shift bezel from Poland is the final missing piece, then I can reinstall the original cap.

I posted another thread about also printing some quick gaskets after having removed my rear seat brackets, until chili_pepper alerted me to this thread. Finally, people with the same two hobbies that I have!

Not TJ stuff but looks fun so I figured I'd share it

I don't have 30 minutes to dedicate to potatoes right now, but i'll definitely add it to the queue! lol

No potatoes were harmed that I saw.

Well now I need to watch, just to find out of it's "Germy Balls Well" or "Germy Ball Swell".

Someone ban this man immediately. There's always time for potatoes. The Irish in me wants to stomp him like a narc at a biker rally. That's like saying you don't have time for bacon. No one has said that, ever.

3 of my 5 favorite foods are potato based!

The other two are steak. - LaZ8787, probably.

Honestly, yeah.

Bacon is overrated, sausage is the way to go.

Yep it is better at everything but wrapping other food

I'm not saying I'm not a fan or consumer of encased, linked ground meat products...but unless you made the sausage, you don't rightly know what's in the sausage, now do you? I can see what's in the bacon.

You have much to learn, young grasshopper. Only when you can snatch the fried meat from my hand, will it be time for you to leave...

 

[Halbarad]

I'd give a kidney for a good metal 3D printer.
I'd have to give another kidney for the engineering knowledge and programming skill to use it properly.

And then you’d be missing two kidneys. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s strange that it happened twice.

Sorry, had to.

I like bacon and all. Especially when it's like that fancy stuff app posted. But sausage is better for me. Bacon is not filling at all

Man that must have taken days to print at that layer height and nozzle size...

Go big and go fast
