Description

Summary Designed and printed a sunroof handle for my e46 325xi because it was missing one. Found a single listing on eBay for a used one selling for $20 - um..no. hah. So I modeled one based on the pics - couple of prototypes later it was right. This friction fits, no gluing required, and is thin enough to allow the sunroof cover to fully retract when the glass opens all the way:) 2 STL files - one is blank, the other was for myself, it has the 325xi on it which i designed from scratch with Microgramma font to be as authentic as possible. Print Settings Printer Brand: Creality Printer: CR10S PRO Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution:.16mm Infill: 100% Filament: Any PETG or ABS PETG Notes: Doesn't need supports if your bridging is decent. Print with the cavity facing downwards. I wouldn't use PLA because it's not quite water resistant, so PETG or ABS is fine.
