Parking brake pulley cover test 3D

[abe_lugo]

Well I 3D'd my sample, see image,  anyone have a 3D printer?

Otherwise I'll wait and send it off.
I'll have a STL file, I have to decimate it, but made a small one also. Try to get a nominal file size so it snot super jagged, but is been a while since I have exported to print.

email or PM for more info.

I'm surprised you had a sample to copy...they are almost non-existent! I made a cover from chicken wire, fleece, and por-15. Mine is more rectangular, wasn't trying to duplicate the original, just wanted a cover for a more finished look.

I forgot to check my own car. While I was working out the brakes it was a nice surprise to see it doing it's job. 
It's made of a hard fiber.

There is actually a flange of sorts on these covers.  Most are broken off.  Sorry i'm not home to show a picture of mine. 

[abe_lugo]

Please post the pics of the flange, mine had them worn down, I had them in the drawing, they just of look like the base with little ears, I dont think they serve a function.

Check out the T-bird covers on the CASCO website. Looks like they can be modified to fit.

Thanks Outlaw!

I did notice that one is about 42 bucks.

hope fully this can work out and be posted to people that have a printer or just want to order if from a printing site.

I sent one to print, I added the flanges to it, I see the T-Bird on has larger flanges, also you can get the clip there, but 5.25? haha o well

[abe_lugo]

Well here it is.  I may upload the file for you guys. It's about 1/8 in taller.  I'll adjust that. 
I have to test fit it. 
I added the flange. Currently is a heat resistant simulated ABS.
If the file gets uploaded you can print it whatever you need of have access to.

[thomasso]

Wow. Great.

[abe_lugo]

Test fit without having to pretzel into the footwell

I will check to see what shapeways price is on this.

That is very impressive. Amazing what a 3D printer can do in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. You should sell these.... I would buy one.

[abe_lugo]

I'm probably going to plan on putting the file on shapeways (online 3D printing company), I'll see if there is way to do a private link, then you can just have it printed and shipped to your house. I need to check the types of printing materials and see which will last and compare to the that T-Bird one.

[abe_lugo]

Hi Everyone, I checked with Shapeways, they have a nylon type PA11 plastic, its about 10.00 for the part and then shipping. I dont really ahve time to set up and manage for whomever needs it, also I think there are other sides that may be cheaper. The otehr plastic called versitile plastic is 5.00 each, but the PA11 is more durable is says.

I'm willing to email the file to anyone who wants to print their own.. Also for the people in the EU, I can send you the file and you can source it locally. The wonder of the internet helps here.
I have my own parts. But I know some people can use the file.
just let me know though PM.
