My old QTP cutout finally gave up on me. Had this one in there since 2012 and I can say I've gotten my moneys worth. It's been beat up, bottomed out, and even skipped across the interstate. May have been slow and temperamental, but it's worked.

Went with a Summit cutout this go around. I love the speed and the auto shut off when it fully opens or closes.

Been looking for cheap/small projects and noticed none of my wheels had valve stem caps. About an hour on the printer and made some new ones!

Been working on some honeycomb grilles for my trufiber hood. Finally got the fitment right, just need the right filament, and a better way to mount them!

In one piece? Not much bigger than that on that printer (about 8.25"). Maybe add about an inch of I were to print it on my other printer.

Can always slice it into multiple pieces and glue them together to go bigger

Got the final version of the grilles printed in some black ASA plastic. Mounted with some double stick tape. Holding so far!

Also got the cars locked up in a parking garage for Hurricane Ida!

Good luck man! When things get back to normal want more info on the grilles. Would like to replace the stock with gloss black plastic to match stock materials..

Went to pick the car up from the garage we put it in for the storm and the security light is blinking and car won’t crank. Tried all the fixes I read (leave the key in until the blinking stops, disconnect the battery, unlock car with the key) and nothing is working.

Unfortunately RadioShack doesn’t exist and half of everything is closed down here, so I ordered some resistors to do the VATS bypass off Amazon.
