The one on the right side of my vehicle was missing so bonus! Seems to fit perfectly with no gluing, although probably wise to as the parts may fall into the panel void I suppose. I'll leave mine unglued and see how it fares. Thank you MJ for allowing me to print these and I hope you don't mind me posting the results here. I probably should have asked first I am thinking in hindsight.

Even though I know how it works, its still slightly magical that something I designed on my computer can then be a real object on the other side of the planet a short while later
 It looks like it fitted quite well too. I'd definitely glue that design to make it weather-tight, but that might not matter in some parts of Australia I guess? I need to get my machines printing TPU now!

MJ, I know that feeling of awe. Over 25 years back I wrote an XL worksheet with embodied macros that I used at work. I passed it onto others and they used it in UK and Europe. A couple of years back I attended a reunion and one of the young guys told me that he had seen it being used on a training course in the States. Magic. Shame I couldn't copywrite it!!!!!

And she is right to a degree - you could not courier a part as quickly, even in the same city usually. That is assuming that the part is still available to buy and not NLA. It is entirely possible that you could conceive a design that did not exist in the world and yet have someone on the other side of the planet holding the realised conception in their hand in less than an hours time, such is the wonder of modern technology! When I was a boy I remember watching Lost In Space and being well impressed at the magical machine that you simply pressed a button to select your desired object and Voila! the door to the machine was opened and there was your desired item....reality is approaching this idea. One day we may not even have to go shopping, or to the hardware store - we will simply print our own screws, nails, and what-nots. Look! We are doing it already! Quote:

It still rains here Michaela! Quite heavily this past week too (which hopefully put the brakes on the Victorian bushfires a bit). Pity NSW isn't getting similar downfalls... So with the glue, you mentioned polyurethane (which would have better adhesive qualities than silicone), so by that, do you mean Sikaflex?

I confess all I know about Australian weather is that it doesn't rain much on Marty and Moog
 I think they are in NSW?Yes, Sikaflex. The biggest problem with those types of adhesives is that you only need 5g of a 400g tube. I can't find any in small containers, apart from one brand of marine sealant which is more expensive for 200g than for 400g  If I start production of these things I really need to find a way to pack it in to sachets without it starting to cure.

Sikaflex is only £6.99 at Screwfix for a 300ml tube. Shame to waste most of it though.....
Assuming this is the stuff you need: https://www.screwfix.com/p/sika-sika...ck-300ml/79299

Marty and Moog are in Sydney.
They hide in their workshop whenever it's raining! Skid Factory is in Noosa, on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane. It's tropical up there. Melbourne actually gets a similar average rainfall to London, but we tend to get heavier more concentrated bursts, particularly in the warmer months! Our winters are pretty wet. Our Summers and Autums are fantastic, usually (bit weird this year, it's raining as I type this!). Sydney gets significantly more rain (nearly double), but they'll claim their weather is better!
