    Looks like Ford is starting something: https://www.topgear.com.ph/news/tech...ef=home_feed_1

    Will this be a new trend?

    after 2 months of searching... wala pa din akong makita. hahaha

    most shops can print figurines etc. issue for automotive parts is that the item will be exposed to the elements. most people I found think that the Sun's UV can disintegrate their material

    PC and ASA are known to be UV-resistant. They can be used outdoors and under the sun all year round.

    They are more expensive and are difficult to print with, so the product quality in terms of aesthetics might not be on par with using softer filaments. Your mileage may vary depending on the 3D printer and experience of the operator.

    3D printing has opened up a lot of possibilities for custom car accessories. I've seen people create phone mounts, cup holder inserts, dashboard organizers, cable clips, and even replacement interior trim pieces. It's a great option when you need a custom fit or when original parts are difficult to find.

    For anyone working on vehicle upgrades or DIY projects, it's worth comparing prices on materials and accessories before buying. I sometimes check ReeCoupons for available deals on related products and tools to help keep project costs down.
