Any interest in 3D printed hardtop lock covers?

psygnosis · 11-14-2012, 10:15 AM

There are a few people who have a hardtop but the lock covers got lost and replacements are impossible to find. But I know of a high school shop class with a 3D printer, I showed the teacher the covers I have for my hardtop and he didn't think it'd be all the difficult to make. Would there be much interest in this? How many people are missing the covers?

I have a 2003 Z4 with naked lock covers. I would love to find new ones. Are you still interested in making them?

I'd be interested. I haven't lost mine, but I'd like an option in case they do get misplaced.

The covers got modeled, but they lost the file and they never got printed :/

I actually found mine on Ebay a few months ago. I got it for $800 but it cost me $400 to get it shipped from the east coast to the west coast. I looked for about 6 months to find one. Good Luck to you.
