3D Printed Fog Light Filler Plate for Rigid D2

[Urbanrunner716]

You're gonna make some for 06-09 too right??? :naughty:

Good stuff. Mind sharing the design process? I'm curious how you got a baseline for the compound curves.

 

[97BlackAckCL]

Awesome as always Trevor, love all the stuff you're coming up with

 

[JimInTN]

Any plans for a rear bumper option?

 

[Ratubbs]

I'm definitely in for a set once the final tweaks are made !! Very nice work!!

For anything with fairly difficult curves, I typically start by scanning the object itself (in this case, the fog light assem.) on a standard office scanner. For any curves that can't be accurately scanned directly (too big of an object, uneven surfaces, etc.), I'll cut identical curves out of card-stock using the object as a 'stencil' and scan those in. Once I have all the scans I need, I just import them into Solidworks, scale/locate them based on the alignment/nominal measurements of the physical object, and trace the curves in. From there, surfaces and extrudes can be created and manipulated as needed.

TIN has a rear bumper pod, and let me tell you it is awesome. I have mine wited into my backup light,every time I back up at night, I smile.....











Master TIN I have been eagerly awaiting this project.... YOU DA MAN!!

How do I buy these from you!

It would be really awesome if you developed a version that didn't require such expensive lights.....

Oh ok, thanks. I've done the "picture next to a tape measure" method before, never thought about using a scanner. Seems like that would be relatively parallax free, no?

Right, it is parallax free and great for anything that can be placed fairly flat on the scan bed. You just have to keep in mind the short depth of field that a scanner can capture.

I'm in!

How do I order?

 

[Dpassmore]

Me too. Where do we send our money?

 

[calvinv8sr5]

@TiN I pmed you

 

[rcebowl]

how much and where do i order?!?

 

[wslytoy]

Yeah, 06'-09' would be VERY appealing to me.

 

[Krayziekid]

Any updates on these? I would love a double "extended" version since I did the 06 headlight conversion.

 

[aquilon]

are there no drop-in quality LED fog options for 06-09 round fogs?

 

[4Runner010]

Wish @TiN would make these :shrug: not sure why he stopped id be all over these.

 

[olegrad]

I was thinking of this exact thing the other day. Wish there's an aftermarket piece for 06-09.
