=======================================================

Print Left or Right model as you need them.

Recommended material is black ABS or black ASA filament. Do not use PLA for car parts and PETG is often too shiny to match appearance of other plastic parts in a BMW.

For best result print with the following:

• 0.4mm nozzle.
• 5 top and bottom layers.
• 5 walls.
• 100% infill.
• variable or dynamic layer height from 0.1mm-0.3mm. Alternatively print with as low constant layer height for nice rounded sides.
• PEI sheet bed with fine random patterned surface.
• Support is needed for successful printing the 4 hooks.

For best finish you may want to add manually slightly sanding for curved surfaces and then reheat with hotair on sanded surfaces to remove any whiteness of sanded surfaces.

The hooks are vulnerable and breaks off easily when mounting, so be careful. You have to carefully wriggle a little bit and slide the frame into place You may enforce the hooks by adding superglue to the sides of the hooks.

On the photo, the original is on the left and the printed version on the right.

Please consider to like, rate and upload picture of your printed results. Mine looks really nice with some post processing being sanding and heat to remove change white areas caused by sanding back to dark mat areas.

If you downloaded earlier version, this is an update to version 3.0.
