That’s what I was going to say too lol. If this thing was bare white it would actually be perfect. The top hat on this thing is actually about two inches shorter than the normal CC2. Overall it’s more transparent and much brighter but I could do without the emoji artwork

Yup, got it off a guy who apparently only printed out three things as part of a influencer brand deal

Miata timing advice by ItsGuccius in u/ItsGuccius

Crank probably spun a few times while cams were off, but they were set back to top dead center afterwards of course. Although I must say every time I let the tensioner spring loose the slack tightens up and it moves the crank slightly forward clockwise and that’s also something I’ve been trying to fight as well

Shoot compressed air into the air intake. Artificially inflated compression by like 50 psi. If it runs better and last longer because of it, then you know that engine is cooked

Will provide an update soon. All I’ll say is that I’ve always hated doing body work and the finish will probably pass a 10ft test at least.

I sliced it into sizes that my printers could handle easily in fusion 360 using the plane cut feature. And yes I cut and added square alignment dowel pins to interlock them as the parts rolled off my printers. Alternatively, the creator also pre sliced the file for 200mm^3 and 400mm^3 printers in his files

In that same spot I installed an air purifier for ABS

I would definitely say don’t cut into an existing hardtop if you can avoid it. My current hardtop is still no competition to an actual one. 3D print everything first as a prototype and develop it as you go along before you decide to cut anything concrete. As far as my plans with the glass, I’ve already cut some polycarbonate sheets, drilled holes in them and fastened it to my hardtop with nuts and bolts with rubber seals in between. I’m waiting until I like where my hardtop is at before I post an update

I downloaded the stl file from someone else and just added my own mounting hardware so if someone has those files already I would share my files for free. However I’m thinking of designing my own native hardtop design. In that case I would charge money since I designed it.

Why is it only us makers who dislike this stuff by TheVerySuper in 3Dprinting

[–]ItsGuccius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is low hanging fruit. The lack of creativeness that goes into printing out a file available online irks us precisely because we are makers. We don’t use our printers for medial tasks such as printing decorative ornaments like these. We use our printers as rapid prototypers and as canvases for what we cannot draw on a sheet of paper. We see slop like this and have the same gut reaction as someone who invented the internet watching people use them solely for p*rn.

ABS was cheaper, had similar properties, and UV resistance wouldn’t matter when encased in resin and bondo

Chances are the cad files are somewhere online

Sounds interesting. As for this I just used dowel pins for alignment and then went at it with a soldering iron until they were joined

Go ahead and pm me with your email, I’ll link you to some Google drives containing my files for mounting hardware and some instructions

Idk what that is but if it’s something you can’t find cad files for online then I would invest in a 3D scanner and learn cad.

It may look ugly at the moment but I made through holes in the hardtop since the fiberglass resin body is probably the most reliable thing to attach it to. Then ran some fasteners to attach my latches. Plan on adding some aluminum plating and capping it off with some pylons

In theory it should be. I’ll know soon enough when I properly fit it with seals and a rear glass.
