Mazda RX8 Spoiler
Original file by mMELL0W. Hers what several weeks of printing, sanding, assembling, spraying, and polishing looks like. I’m pretty proud of how it all turned out. Let me know your thoughts!

A damn clip
I've been looking for a while for someone who has modeled this clip named dorman 14913 in 3D, and it's a part that literally all cars Fords have in the transmission cable area.
But I haven't been able to find anything... Does anyone know how to model this piece or where to find it already modeled?

1969 Volkswagen Squareback Pop-Out Window Latches
I bought this 1969 Volkswagen Type 3 recently that was in really good overall condition but needed some love in the window department (amongst some other things).
The OG pop out latches were very wobbly when opened and didn't pull the windows in tight enough to produce a seal which is a concern for my neck of the PNW (US). Finding replacements for the whole assembly was proving to be difficult and expensive so I took to youtube to learn how over center latches work and designed these to pull the windows in a bit harder than the OG latches (I also replaced the rubber seals). This is V3 that's been installed and the first version that I would be happy with as the final part.
This version is printed in Matterhackers NylonX (CF infused Nylon). Time will tell for longevity but I tried to take that into consideration with the design.
Bonus points for some door handle and mirror trims I also made which are easily available online but, you know, printer gonna print. I think the CF filament looks great.
