• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

3D modeling for Spyder stuff

Sharing some fun I am having while waiting for the rain to stop.
I'm using my 3D printer now to make some accessory mods for my 2014 Spyder RT. This was created in Fusion 360.
This is final draft for the base cap (right and left of dash cluster). The printed version is very sturdy and the rear clips are rigid and will not bend out of place.
From this design I will add in Fusion 360 a RAM ball mount for my rear view camera monitor with wire feed.
A second version will be a base cap with driver camera mount and wire feed for 12v power.
These would fit any standard RT 2014-2017.
Printed in PLA (black) using split process for fill (85% clips - 25% base)

Thanks....
 
Regardless of what they're for, kudos to you for doing this, let alone thinking of it and attempting it. Well done you Maker you!
 
Won't the PLA deteriorate in the sunlight and weather? My printer prints PLA and ABS and I find in a "real" application the ABS holds up well but the PLA is more for "proof of concept" than actual real world usage.

Great work on the modeling and printing.
 
I've thought about a deflector that installs on the lower vents to direct some of the warm engine air onto your feet in colder temperatures I'll let everyone know if I make them and how they work. Chris
