Tired of your 3d printed car parts looking cheap? You don’t have to sand your part to make it look better, use features like fuzzy skin or bumpmesh to give your part a unique texture.

We tested the Revopoint POP 4 on 5 BMW E30 parts — cylinder head, engine block, interior pieces, and outdoor body panels. Here's which mode works on what, and what the scan-to-print results actually look like.

Skip the sanding. Use 3D effect build plates on Bambu Lab, Centauri Carbon, and H2S printers to transfer OEM-matching texture directly to your car parts during the print.

We reverse engineered a discontinued 1984 Datsun 280ZX relay cover using digital calipers and Shapr3D. Here's the exact workflow — measure, sketch, extrude, print in ASA, install.

How I 3D scan car parts with consumer scanners under $400 — scanner picks, real scans from my BMW E30, and the exact workflow to CAD and print.

I tested an iPhone LiDAR scan, Polycam scan, and a pro Revopoint 3d scanner of the same BMW E30 part. Here's which one actually produced a printable part.

Three workflows for designing 3D printed car parts — from quick slicer modifications to full Shapr3D CAD builds. Real examples from my BMW E30.

After dozens of failed prints on the Ender 3, I switched to the Elegoo Centauri Carbon — here's why it's the best budget 3D printer for car parts under $500.

Step-by-step: designing and 3D printing a modern center console with built-in MagSafe charging for my BMW E30. Full Shapr3D workflow and files.
