new and here to share 240 CAD.
Got me a fairly beat up 244 a few months ago and there's a lot of plastic parts that are falling apart.
My goal is to 3D print any plastic bits I reasonably can, cause I'm a penny-pincher and filament is cheaper than buying stuff the normal way. I've already printed an odometer gear (with resin) and a stereo bezel. I just threw together the models for the raggedy old seat belt covers.
Here's my model for the rear seat belt covers:

They're also in an attached zip file, exported as STL to be printable. The one labeled SPLIT has them chopped in half so I can glue them together after printing, since my printer isn't big enough.
I will print them in ASA with a 1mm nozzle on an Anycubic I3 mega.
Yes, I use onshape. I know it's not exactly industry standard but it gets the job done.
If all goes to plan, coming up later will be 6" speaker covers, other interior plastic bits, exterior trim, and even a front emblem and grille frame since I'm missing that.
For anyone curious, the stereo bezel I used is on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4069054, although I might make my own version later since it doesn't fit perfect.
Side note, I'm missing a lotta exterior trim and most interior plastic is dry rotten to hell. I'd much rather spend $250 on a printer (which I already had) $20 on a kg of filament and some time and effort than spend $400 on the trim pieces elsewhere or search in several junkyards for several hours in 110°f for a decent discount from that.
To those who print, happy printing! To those who don't, maybe you could use these for measurements or something idk. If you've got 250 bucks lying around it can be a useful hobby.
The future is now! Let the machines do the work!
