UPDATE: Added a design without the curve to make it easier to print. Old design is still avilable Curved light cover.stlNew designs Feature teeth to move the brass prongs (so you can turn on and off the light) 3 variations:-Brass prongs are as original-Brass prongs broke-One brass prong broke ( you will need to mirror the design depending on witch prong broke)
This is a light cover for the renault twingo, it is fully functional.You will need transparent filament!!For commercial use contact me directly.If you encounter any problems feel free to leave a comment ill try my best to help
PRINT SETTINGS:-For the print on the pictures a faster speed was usedTo print a transparent light cover the key is three different factors.
20mm/s speed 0.1000mm layer height
No top or bottom layers, along with one single direction for infill By following the three keys above you can create a very translucent print. Several factors in positioning the printed object and direction the filament is laid down will give vearing results.
The Best filament to use believe it or not is: OVERTURE CLEAR PETG. It even beat out Formfutura HD Glass.
