  1. Doing it yourself the print price would be really cheap, I looked out  tractor bonnet, it's for a Cletrac crawler rescaled it would cost € 0.01 and use .24mtrs of filament, If you can use CAD and you have the original object it would probably be fairly straight forward, Hand held scanners have always been a bit hit or miss but Creality recently released their new CR-Scan 01 which appear to have sorted a lot of issues there, Failling that there are umpteen small business's out there now who could help you out, Manchester 3D are getting a lot of good things said about them at the moment,

  2. Vase setting ( spiralize ) in Cura speak is fantastic if you need to produce hollow tubes as it only prints an outer skin rather than a solid cylinder, Also handy to download and save one of the bed leveling calibration tests if all 9 squares are the same if not a little adjustment might be called for.

    I think its the black filament joe, dont get it on the other two, its done it on all prints, have a feeling it needs to go up a bit temp wise from what i have seen online, colour pigment issue so it seems 

    Could well be temperature related Sean, Best way to check is download and print a temperature tower, your printer will print a bridge at a different temperature on each bridge then you can see which temperature suit which filament best, handy thing to keep in your .stl folder for future use,

  4. Now your CAD savvy, it's fairly easy to sketch / print almost anything, For over 6 years I depended on Yeggi / Thingiverse etc, Now any part I need I sketch up myself and print it, Also you might be able to avoid makeing new sketch's for the slightly bigger trailer merely by re-scaling them in your slicer, Also if your making left and right sided part's if the hinges and "clasps" are at the same spaceing you can simply "mirror" them in the slicer, saves an awful lot of sketching.

    So far small holes like that have not been an issue, 1mm is easy even some of the .5mm do come out, some need a quick run through with a drill mind, say 1/4 of them . The only issue i had with hole was forgetting diameter  on cad first print(red one) i set the hole at what i thought was 1mm and got a 2mm 😢never listened at school see 😆😆😆😆 

    Ha ha, been there done that, and at school.:ph34r:

  6. I've been working on another project and just finished printing the second door for this artic trailer never done anything like this before, But the holes printed in the door and it's surround are 1mm in diameter, The one on the left is straight off the printer and the one on the right has been tidied up a bit, with a length of stainless steel wire pushed through, That's a common dress makers pin 0.7ml diameter and 26ml long never dreamt it would work but it does. Zoom right in for fine details.

    I think if you tried white flexible TPU the colour and texture might just be spot on, might be a little shiney but can't say as never used white,

    Give  me a chance not 100% sure i have cad worked out properly yet 😆😆😆😆

    Your CAD skill's are better than mine I very much doubt you would need to manipulate any files in your slicer, When I watch a tutorial if I don't get it first time forget it, My short term memory was never very good, Part of the reason I never read books, By the time I get to the end of a paragraph I've forgotten what happened at the start,:huh:
