3D printed parts
So having got the new car, it came with some very nice Advan Racing RS wheels. Noticing they didn’t come with Centre caps I looked into buying some, they turned out to be somewhere in the region of £250 to buy a set! So although I want to protect the hubs, I’m not paying that... cue the measuring and designing some of my own.
No caps..
Measured and modelled some up

"All in price" (P&P, Import VAT and admin charge included) from Japanparts - £172 or there abouts. Probably similar from Nengun.

I looked at the Mrs car and the caps were just held in by tension rather than the clips falling into a groove. I tried a couple of different diameters until they felt pretty snug and put a small slot to get a screwdriver bit in for removal

Have an android tablet installed in my dash to give me loads of additional gauges and spotify etc. All grand and works a treat, but wasn't happy with the tablet on display all the time so designed and 3D printed a simple cover.

I abused the 3D printer again today. I've been doing my garage project of late and have pulled in more power sockets and equipment where required. I've just purchased a couple of nice fused switches that I plan to use on my bench light and wall mounted retractable mains extension cable. I had a change of heart about the cable coming out of the front of the switch units (as it wasn't tidy enough for me), so have made a convenient plug for the hole with the added advantage of an integrated label to clearly identify each switch unit. Simples!
