E85 Top Down Side Covers.

They are indeed a pain in the a**e, a complete and utter inconvenience, an antithesis on the whole mechanics of the folding roof. They fly off either side of you at the lights because you WILL forget they are there, a major ball ache, you soon realise they're best kept in the boot never to be used again, or maybe... just maybe, they might fetch a pretty penny...
But... I just can't bear to part with mine

I'm curious of the max width and length of the item (and height I guess)?. Older printers generally only print 200x200x200 , newer ones are now printing areas around 300x300x300. You can get up to 500x500x500 hobbyist printers. (sizes in mm).
I have 3x 3D Printers but only up to 200x200x180. Hoping to upgrade soon though

Luckily I have access to a couple of 3D printers, the MakerBot Replicator+, and the Ultimaker (2+ model I think) but I know that during the design/fit stage I will be printing it in 2 (or more) parts because of the size. However once done would be easy enough for anyone with the 3D model to get it printed from any of the print service companies.
The original ones are covered in some sort of textured vinyl, from the images looks like a leather(ish) texture, but I just want it to be print and fit without having to cover with anything first, so will need to learn how to add textures to surfaces in fusion 360, feels weird that I have never done that before, so will be a good learning exercise as well.

But could you be arsed to draw round them!? Take some measurements?
An app like QCLONE on iOS may help too
Then the likes of me or markalps could look to model & 3D Print some
Sure, happy to send them off to look at as long as they come back

That would be even more amazing if you were willing to do so! But for the love of god pack them well
Haha will do! :lol:
I'm in Oz until the end of next week so I'll post them out to you when I get back.

Little early but just throwing it out there... as long as they’re not 10 million billion pounds
They won’t be, more like 20 million billion pounds because they’re in high demand
If Thanatu55 is kind enough to loan me his I’ll work out a cost once it’s modelled etc (markalp may do it first). I’m currently watching a couple on eBay but as my luck always goes it’s between pay packets so not affordable anyways lol
