Bumper Protector - 3D Print (Files Uploaded)

[Artifex]

It’d look great printed in ABS and spent some time in a solvent gas chamber.

Probably would. One problem though is the slight bend on either end. I built them flat knowing they would bend easily in TPU. You'd have to heat them up and form them a bit in any rigid print. Nothing a heat gun couldn't handle though... probably.

Thanks! I built the model myself.

Again, great job. But looks like you'll be keeping the 3D file to yourself? Just wanted to know so we can stop asking if so .

Sorry, I'll post the files when I get home from work. Only for personal use, please.

Ok here are the .stl files! I still need to make some spacers for application though. Again, please do not monetize these files in any way - personal use only.

If anyone wants me to print some for them DM me.

Happy printing!

Wow! It does look remarkably similar!

As if they were made by the same company

I know! So strange.

I bet you don’t!

1) apply double sided tape to the bottom
2) position how you like them
3) apply painter’s tape to one edge
4) tilt up and remove the backing from the double sided tape on the far edge
5) tilt back down along the painter’s tape so they stay just in the right position
6) remove the painter’s tape with the far edge fixed
7) peel the sticky on the painters tape edge and sick down the rest.

boom no alignment jig needed.

Yes you are correct. This method works well too.

My plan was to make it as easy to position as possible so both sides are symmetrical without any measurements: place center spacer, then butt each piece out from that one left and right, then second set of spacers then end pieces. As each piece goes down you just have to align with the front corner/edge of the bumper. I'll try to get these posted as well next week.

Until then ppl can use the tape method or use something else as a spacer... or just judiciously eyeball it like i did.

Very nice !

Just wanted to show off a little something I made. 98A TPU.

That looks great. All I have is an A1 mini. I would need to cut these 1-2 times each to get them to print. And right now I I only have white TPU. I would need to order a black spool and add another partially used spool to my every growing collection. 1st world problems are real.
