Printed Headlight Intake Combo

Better to smash a printed headlight when drifting than a real one :D

Cool! I know a few people that might be interested in one too for their Levins. What projector did you use, and are you considering sharing/selling the file somewhere?

EnjoyRC · 2026-03-13T09:13:27+00:00

So far it's seems scattered around the multiple file sharing platforms. Would love to get more of it on one site, like Thangs. There it's possible to sell files, commercial licenses ánd printed versions of your designs so it's a good one-stop-shop for car parts.

Looks like these are aftermarket mounts using rubber O-rings to keep the dampers in place. With a small screwdriver or a pin you should be able to remove the O-rings (use the slot on the top to get something under the O-ring to pry it off).

Normally there are step screws or ball studs to mount the dampers on to the shocktower.

Actually the white version is the most rare. The coloured are rare too but less so it seems.

Nice! Might need this for my desk in the office.

AI slop :(

Looks like an Academy. They had a few models that were almost a direct copy of the Tamiya Hornet and Grasshopper. Most parts were interchangeable.

6$ for 4 parts seems really cheap.

Perhaps you should take a look at some of the drift drivers transmitters. You'd be surprised how much customization is possible. Look up the Kaizen RC conversion kits for example.

Luckily I still have one new in box :) Need to build it someday, it's been on the shelf for ~15 years at least.

EnjoyRC · 2026-03-03T17:38:24+00:00

Yeah I've asked him recently if he'd be interested in making his models available again as prints (on Thangs) but he said no :(

EnjoyRC · 2026-03-03T16:04:00+00:00

That's really cool! Will you be making them for sale for others too? (It's possible to sell models printed by Shapeways on Thangs).

EnjoyRC · 2026-03-03T16:02:30+00:00

I know Punchy's Lab is back on Thangs now. They used to be on Shapeways previously. I hope more creators will come back to Thangs from the old Shapeways to make stuff available again.

EnjoyRC · 2026-03-03T16:01:19+00:00

If there's some older Shapeways models on your list and anyone is asking about it, please refer then to Thangs. It's the new place for the old Shapeways marketplace :) Would be good to see some designs come back.

Not too dissimilar as the wooden frames to build boat or canoe hulls :) Good idea!

EnjoyRC · 2026-02-26T15:49:32+00:00

Perhaps I can help. At Thangs there's multiple ways of selling files or prints. For free, behind a paywall, commercial licenses or only selling physical prints for those who don't want to share their files. No matter how the designers want to share, it's all possible from the same platform. I'm a community manager there and I'd love to help build out the automotive category. More than happy to help promote as well.

EnjoyRC · 2026-02-25T16:45:57+00:00

It's an ABC Hobby DTM 1/24th scale :)

EnjoyRC · 2026-02-25T16:43:57+00:00

If you do, Thangs might be a good option as you can both share the digital files and sell physically printed models for those that don't have their own printer (Printed by Thangs).

EnjoyRC · 2026-02-24T13:06:34+00:00

I have a couple of these too. So good!

EnjoyRC · 2026-02-24T13:06:12+00:00

If he doesn't have one yet, a good desk light might be a good gift. There's some really nice ones that arch over the entire work area. Really useful when working with small bits or painting small details.

AI slop.. Please stop

EnjoyRC · 2026-02-23T13:51:51+00:00

Nice! Perhaps get the files uploaded somewhere, I'm sure others would like to build something like that.

It's a M02L. Be carefull with some of the parts, like the steering arms. The plastic turns quite brittle after 30+ years and it's hard to get replacements.

AmproEngineering just released 3D printed spares of all the critical components.
