What printer do you have? Any chance you can print it laying down? The orientation of the print will also affect strength. I think laying it down would be better as the forces would then be perpendicular with the layers rather than parallel.

I’ve got a MP Voxel and no go on laying it down.

Gotcha. So what are the 'parts' you are printing? 150x150x150 is pretty limiting. I would still try and print the 2 pieces laying down for better layer orientation.

If you ever make them for the hatchback, let's talk!

I own a coupe with the Type R replica spoiler on. Would love to get a set if possible. The spoiler bounces too much for my liking

He's logged in but clearly hasnt checked this thread in a while...I'd be able to model up something and possibly print IF I had access to one of these spoilers to take measurements. Alas...you're all far away from me.

My 3D printer is currently out of commission for the time being unfortunately.

Any updates on the design @ZephyrFlash ? Still working well on your Coupe?

No real update from the last design and they're holding up well enough on my Coupe. Need to figure a better way to bolt it onto my trunk though - needs to be more weather/water proof

Damn I guess I've had them on for close to a couple of years now which is crazy to think about.

They're still on there and doing their job just fine, no issues so far. I could probably take them off and reapply the double side tape to keep them fresh but they seem fine for now.
