Hey guys, I’ve been building my profile KREX_Automotive for a while now. All my models are manually designed (no scanning).
I want to scale my reach and improve my designs. What am I missing? Any specific niches in the car world that I should focus on?
I’ve always felt that the P3 XC70 has one of the most iconic front ends Volvo ever designed. Since I spend half my time looking at my car in the driveway, I decided to make a little tribute for the fridge.
It took a few test prints to get the grille and headlight proportions just right, but I’m really happy with how the STL turned out. It’s a nice little "IYKYK" piece for the house.
If any fellow P3 owners want to print one for their own fridge, I put the file up on Cults 🧲 Fridge Magnet Volvo XC70 P3 2008-2016・Free STL File for 3D printing・Cults. What do you guys think? Should I try the V70 or V60 next?
Btw, I have made also a keychain version of it: 🗝️ Keychain Volvo XC70 P3・Free STL File for 3D printing・Cults
Hey everyone,
Just a quick heads-up for those of you with a P3 chassis (XC70/V70/S80/S60). I was cleaning out some debris under the windshield the other day and realized my brake fluid reservoir access cap was completely gone.
It’s easy to overlook, but that hole lets water and dirt dump straight into the scuttle area, which isn't great for the brake system long-term. The OEM part number is 30799291 if you want to buy a new one, but they can be surprisingly pricey for a small plastic disc.
Since I couldn't justify the cost, I reverse-engineered a replacement model to match the factory specs. It’s designed specifically to protect against debris and water ingress.
I’ve uploaded the high-precision STL file to Cults3D if anyone else needs to print a replacement. 🧢 Brake Fluid Reservoir Access Cap for Volvo V70, XC70, S60, S80 P3・ STL File for 3D printing・Cults
It fits perfectly and looks just like the original. Hope this helps someone keep their engine bay a bit cleaner!
My 1997 Vitara was missing one center cap, and the only replacements I could find online were overpriced used parts in terrible condition.
I decided to reverse engineer one using CAD and printed a set of 2. This is the 3rd iteration, and the fitment on the stock wheels is now spot on. I printed them in ABS.
It's a small print, but it makes a huge difference in how the car looks. I have uploaded the file here: 🛞 Suzuki Vitara 1988-1997 Wheel cap・ STL File for 3D printing・Cults

I’ve been struggling to find a clean way to mount Carplay screen without ruining the classic look of the dashboard or using those flimsy suction cups.
After a few failed prototypes and some late nights in CAD, I finally designed this custom mount that clips in perfectly. It’s rock solid and keeps the interior looking OEM. Super proud of how the fitment turned out!
What do you guys think? Is there anything else in the P3 interior that needs a 3D-printed fix?
