I reckon the thick part of the grill would be fairly straight forward useing an FDM ( filament ) 3D printer, But to get the thin mesh printed would require the finesse of a resin printer, If James see's this he may confirm, Regards Joe.

0 fordmajor Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Wow yes.but still need the grill. Mesh looks spot on Joe Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fordmajor Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Got me going now Joe. That mesh could be used for series 1 and 2 grill with no need for printing. Take series3 sticker off got series 2A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 catkom3 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Glad you like it Jim. Bit expensive, But it is really nice stuff, I've used Accurate - Armour's stuff before, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Stabliofarmer Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 As Joe says the main frame work could definitely be 3D printed, you could also easily print the mesh as long as it was on a solid back with the mesh detail raised of it, makes painting a little trickier than if you used the AA mesh or similar but would do the job. I'm in the middle of a house move but when things settle down I can get back to you about making one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tractorman810 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 same as joe, print the frame then mesh the middle, i have found some mesh (at long last for the trailers) that may work, .8mm squares if you want the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
