Physical strength it's very similar, along with temp, chemical resistance etc. The main advantage is UV resistance. It apparently doesn't discolour like abs so doesn't need paint etc. It's a bitch to print though, does need a chamber/enclosure, preferably heated to about 40°C. Just like ABS...

The 3d printer is possibly one of the best toys I've ever bought. Done wheel hub spacers, bonnet badges, various clips and mounts, custom designed brake vacuum adapter for a 12v vacuum pump to delete the mechanical one, coolant bottle caps, stereo surrounds, replaced the clock in the 322 with...

Clip downs currently being printed. Lot beefier than the factory ones.

Those are the clips printed in ASA which is ABSs big brother.

Today I have mostly been 3d printing replacement parts for the 322. Namely replacement studs for the scuttle panel and clip down points for the boot floor. Also 3d printed a instrument cluster mount to use a lcd panel and raspberry pi as the instruments in the Niva but noone will care about that 😂

Just a quick follow up. Finally got the tank level down to 1/4 tank (yes, it's not used much) and it's still running properly so looks like there was an issue with the fuel pump not siphoning fuel from one side of the tank. Time to start fixing the remaining problems......

I best not look then. I hate having switch blanks and unused connectors. Does my OCD in as something can be there but isn't......

Curious, the electrical library pdf I had only listed 2 15 way connections on the car. Might have to check mine now 🤔

Not sure it'll be just for memory seats as such, more likely linking the memory seats, mirrors and steering column maybe so they can automatically adjust for each user/key/button preset. Again, still learning how everything works, just basing what I say on best guess from how other cars work...

Maybe Lunatic Confirmation Module

I have no idea tbh, pure guess. Only had the car 7 weeks and not even taken that trim off yet.....

Wondering if it could be this if its not meant for the LCM on the A-pillar.

Pot holes or bomb holes?

There's my baby. Slightly modified to say the least 😂

Know the feeling, there's some roads round here I'll only go down in the niva.

The old saying is true: In the UK we used to drive on the left of the road, now we drive on whats left of the road.

I'll agree with the Meyle HD parts. The 9-5 i have used to go through droplinks every 6-12 months. Meyle HD now been on for about 10 years and only just needing replacement. The roads round Oxford are generally crap at best as well.

Had a cup of coffee and a chocolate brownie whilst I prepped the new side steps to go on the rangey. Then pressure tested the AC system, found a hole in the condenser, drank more coffee and ate the other 11 brownies in a fit of depression, then found a new condenser locally for £57.
