Fiberglass C-Series headlight lens

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Spacing and size look perfect on that test run, so bezel and back are currently printing in black on the new machine!

Lens lightly frosted with 300 grit sand paper

K i have the one lens done, but still iro ing out some print issues to make them print with less supervision.while im getting lined out, ill send lens  #1 to @WheelhorseBob so he can do a test fit, etc. Bob, would ya like that lens clear or lightly frosted?

And you can always sand it a little if youd prefer frosted later!

@Wheel Horse 3D I’ll take one too when available and you figure out the cost. 

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Yes sir, I have you, and WH24x on the list, sticks in my mind there was one other .

If ya need it BEFORE big show let me know!

I won’t be at the big show but it’s no rush. Whatever works for you is fine with me. I’d like the lightly frosted version since the original is slightly opaque and my LEDs are pretty ugly.  Thanks!

Can do! And ill go light on the sanding, and you can sand a little more till its just right if ya like. Dont want to get them too frosted.

Once I get the prints runnin smooth, I'll post em up in the store, and let everyone know.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Made some progress yesterday getting the prints to line out, sometimes its just tinker tinker till its right. Got some of the smoothest layers ive ever printed layin down now. Should be able to see after work if the print went ok and how well the layers adhered etc., Prototype lens should be headed out to Bob today! 

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Slight tweak on the length of the back plate, otherwise print settings look good!

I have the prototype and will mount it to my hood later this week for a fitment test. Thank you Wheel Horse 3D!!

Awesome, Thank you for your efforts in developing these! Just let us know how it goes and if I need to modify anything.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Looks like I'm about 3/16 off horizontally and vertically. I'll be re-comparing to the example lens and adjusting that spacing accordingly! Thanks @WheelhorseBob! I'll get that corrected ASAP.

[WheelhorseBob 1,549]

Again, thank you for even trying this!

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Adjusted files last night,

adjust spacing, enlarge holes, provide deeper countersink, make back plate holes a bit larger than front bezel holes.

Now printing!

[WheelhorseBob 1,549]

Got it today! And here it is on my unrestored hood. The holes were very close. Keep in mind the screws they used were 6-32 and they had zero wiggle in them. Hopefully WH used a template to drill and they don’t vary much. Thanks again! Oh I spruced it up with new stainless fasteners of the original size.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Thank you Bob! I did leave the back plate holes a bit bigger for easier alignment, and there should be a little meat left there to slightly enlarge the front holes if needed. The screw pockets look good. If ya ever want to frost the lens i did a little more testing on that ...and 300 grit front AND back seems about perfect.

If anyone wants to gloss up their bezel, enamel paints work well on these plastics. Bob's is the natural finish and texture straight from the printer.

I’d still like to get a frosted one when you’re ready to sell/ship them. Looks great.

Heres an example of the 300 grit front and back

Thank you sir! Once I get the printers goin for the evening and get settled for the night, I'll add those to the store. Store can be found at the website link in my profile.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Got those added to the store!

[cschannuth 3,816]

I received the lens and installed it last night and I think it looks better than the original with the frost. It actually covers up some of the inconsistencies in the headlight bucket and gives it a very clean look. Thanks @Wheel Horse 3D

Thanks  Craig!
