3D printing MK1 Octavia 1 Combi

[Danvy]

Hi,

An idea, some small aprts in our cars are hard to find, especially for old cars. Is is possible to 3D-print those parts if the .stl is available, which is the printable 3D file.

If you have .stl files for MK1, please share alonge with its photo, for everyone here.

Thanks

That rather presumes that these parts were 3D printed in the first place.

@Danvy Do you have a requirement for a particular part?

Parts can be modeled and files produced but whether the part is fit for purpose will depend on its intended usage, the material that it is printed in and the way that it is printed.

Like others with 3D printers I have modeled replacement parts for various items, not Octavia Mk1 parts, but I have not shared many of my files.

I do agree, and the suitability of the material to the part function.

For me, I am trying to find some parts for my car but with no luck, or with exaggerated price.

Here is an example, the cover for the nut for the engine cover

I don't know where in the world you live but that part is cheap here https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/06a103937-top-cowling-stopper-3902.html

In Egypt, importing this part and after currency conversion and customs and taxes, it will be a non reasonable price ☹️☹️

And this is why the site asks you for a location and vehicle details; So that we can know whether advice is relevant to where you live before giving it.

Saying that, thats why i put this post as 3D printing is a feasible alternative.

Do you have MK1 3D files to exchange?
