3D Printed Tidy Tail
littlefreak3000:
I've been toying with making a tidy tail in CAD. I've made one designed to take a LED strip for the brake light and turn signals. Not 100% sure of fitment and wondering if anyone had a 3D printer and could try it out. My other option is I could order it from makexyz.com for $40 (not bad for a tidy tail).

I have a makerbot printer. Send me a the file

Got something to show you guys soon. Here's what I received from Shapeways today.

Finally got it all installed. What do you guys think?
The idea of this was to make it as cheap as possible to print. So compared to my first model there is a lot less material here. It's still pretty strong though for sure. Mine is printed from the strong and flexible plastic and it lives up to it's name. The non polished ones have a bit of a fine grit sand paper like texture to them. Shapeways also offers a metalized print that from my reading is stronger but maybe a bit more brittle because it is so stiff. Also for the deep pockets you could get it printed in stainless steel but I don't feel that is needed.
Available for purchase at Shapeways. http://shpws.me/LZWf
I'll be updating the Shapeways page a bit more with exactly what parts I got from Digikey and how I wired it soon.

Nice!
Got any more pics of the installation of the LED strip? Is it just stuck on?
