im guessing not many people have the DS, i think it wouldnt take much effort to create them though. just takes a little effort to design a few a connect together in a runner for a single piece print. would probably require extra work after ordering to get a truely smooth finish and the color you want.

So many styles can be made.You could do a bundle of sets for one price making them versatile to different body styles.I have the nib foam tire black rim set on my DS but no hubcaps :cry: DON

I started but never finished.
File date says July 2014

Absolutely correct on require work to get smooth finish. With Shapeways sanding, with my style printer sanding or acetone most likely. This instantly turns off people, and the Shapeways prices suck only to have to do more work on them.
