BEST 3D PRINTED CAR PARTS
Are you looking for USEFUL car parts that you can 3d print? Take a look at the list of functional car parts that anyone can print even with an entry level 3d printer.
Every time someone mentions 3d printing, the first thing that might cross your mind are toys.
When it comes to 3d printed car parts, you might even draw a blank.
However, there’s tons of things you can start printing for your car in less than a day… so lets review.
3D PRINTED INTERIOR CAR PARTS
You’d be surprised how many interior 3d printed items you can find for your specific car. Here’s a few:
Custom gauge holders
Modified vents and gauge holders
Interior replacement plastic nuts
Full size dashboard clusters
Custom cup holders and much more
You can even build your very own custom dashboard cluster with a touchscreen and Raspberry Pi.

3D PRINTED EXTERIOR CAR PARTS
When it comes to exterior parts, the list keeps growing…
Custom intake manifolds are popular and that’s great because a stainless steel model from vendors like K&N can cost hundreds of dollars.
3d printing parts also allows you to quickly try different designs and even come up with new creations like a custom forced air intake.
3D PRINTED AUTOMOTIVE TOOLS
I never thought it would be possible to 3d print car tools…
Some easy and useful tools are clutch alignment, wheel fitment, and custom funnel tools.
3D PRINTED AUTOMOTIVE MODEL KITS
And what’s 3d printing without a little fun.
3d printed car model kits are perfect projects to help you get familiar with 3d printing before you take on something more complex. Some of the kits are even multi-colored.
These toys can be printed in PLA filament, but for other car parts we don’t recommend using PLA. It’s not outdoor friendly and doesn’t like the sun very much.
BONUS
If you want to find the perfect 3d filament to use for your next car part project you’ll need to select the right 3d filament material.
