Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.
A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.
Choose the needed variant, then slice it for grams, cost, and print time.
Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

3DPrintedCarPartDescription
Two versions of a Lotus Elise / Exige Bracket (OEM part A120V0347S) for the OEM hardtop. Lotus 2007 S2 and beyond probably already have this if they have the hardtop. For those of you who do not have this, I HIGHLY recommend it. Do not rely on the two little plastic rear corner cantrails (OEM part C116B0467F, and C116B0466F) to hold the entire backside of the roof down. Full details can be seen here: https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/hard-top-3d-printed-rear-bracket.484797/ REV B (my preference) is closest to the OEM bracket. REV C is simpler to print and uses less material. *Additional parts needed* - Well Nuts (threaded insert to drill into the hardtop) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040CVWRY/ M8x20mm bolts (2 needed) - https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-M8x20mm-Stainless-Security-Machine/dp/B01MYX5A39
