EDIT FOR SAFETY:

PLEASE SEE THE MODERATORS COMMENT BELOW ABOUT THE FIRE HAZARDS

But seriously with about 15 dollars in supplies you can transform your 3d printed C4 parts.

All you need is:

- A 5 dollar POLYPROPYLENE storage tote from Walmart(big enough to fit the desired part with gaps around the sides)

-A 10 dollar container of Acetone

Process:

1. 3D print your desired part in ASA

2. Soak some microfiber rags or paper towels in acetone

3. Place the rags along the sides of your tote and place your part at the bottom(ideally not setting directly on the bottom of the tote, you'll want to prop it up somehow)

4. Secure the lid on the tote and wait.... I have found that large parts take 1.5-2 hours. Smaller parts will be less.

5. Open the lid and let the part cure for a few hours(DO NOT TOUCH THE PART RIGHT AWAY)

6. install your part and enjoy!

Here are some before and after photos(obviously different colors, the original print was PETG

Had someone request a 3d printable file for license plate louvers for the early body style c4 so I made this. You might need this if you already have the tail light louvers...

I made a similar post before, but I have both front and rear done now. I wasn't sure at first, but they're kind of growing on me...

Made some 3D printable front rock guards for 1984-1990 corvettes if anyone is interested

Just about every 80s vette I've seen has had cracked door panel inserts and when it costs 160 for a pair of new ones, I can understand.

I am providing the files for 3d printable versions at a fraction of the cost.

There are two different versions available. One for 1984-1985 Corvettes(Test fitted on my 1985). One for 1986-1989 Corvettes( test fitted on a 1988 Corvette thanks to u/BigLittleTreeMS)

Available Here!

My understanding is that the only difference between the 84-85 door insert and the 86-89 door insert is the power locks button area. I am modeling based on an 85 and would like to create a modified version for 86-89. I am looking for two things.

1. A clear picture of the backside of the 86-89 door panel insert so I can get measurements.

2. Someone that can test print and confirm fit of the 86-89 panel (as a thank you I can send you the files for any of my parts that you may be interested in for free).

I'm currently working on the door inserts for 1984-1985 vettes but that is quite the challenge, so I released a few small parts to pass the time.

1984-1996 door handle rod retaining clip

1984-1989 windshield wiper knob

1984-1996 screw grommet clip

1985-1989 armrest filler (available for free since there's a handful of these out there already)

Check them out on Cults 3D if you're interested.

I went to remove this hatch switch to reverse engineer it and it actually crumbled in my hand. Good thing I have a 3d printer!

This will fit 1986-1987 Corvettes and the file is available on Cults3d.
