I would be interested to know how you're printing those and what type of printer you're using. I'm printing with a Prusa MK3s+ FDM printer.

I personally don't own the printer... the parts are produced on my friend's Mark Forged printer featuring carbon filament for better strength. We've been developing a range of parts we are hoping to sell through our website.

It seems you have work a little bit with the design in order to get the best O/A finish - we tend to try & get it so the side that requires the sacrificial support material when printing off the bed is on a face that is less prominent when fitted to the car, since this is always the face with the poorest finish. In the case of the collars - the underside has the poor finish & the parts are printed as a handed pair so the good finish is on the top of both left & right handed parts.

Yeah that's the best I have been able to do as well, print off Rights and Lefts so the rough side always faces the spring. Thanks for getting back Amazing what we can do now. This 3d printing would sound like science fiction back when I had my first JRX2.
