3D Printed Car Parts - Jaguar X-type Grille

In this video I 3D printed a new grille for my Jaguar x-type.
The old grille looks a bit outdated, but the facelift grills or the one from tuning companies are quite expensive. I saw some for even 500+$. So instead I designed a grille myself and paid only around 30$ on parts.
My design is based a bit on the more modern Jaguars like the Jaguar F-Type.
This is my first time printing a car parts and I’m happy with the result. With those 3D printers almost everything is possible now.
The filament I Used is ApolloX. This is strong but easier to print than ABS. When I’m printing bigger parts with ABS I have terrible warping and cracking. With the Apollo X I didn’t experience this.
I printed on an Ender 3 printer. Those are cheap to get.

What do you guys think of this? I kept the original grille, so I can always convert back to original in just 4 screws. But for now I like this more sportier and moderner look.

NICE WORK.

[@zsoltkoncz2158]

You are very clever! The grille got good, really cool.

[@k_s.m]

Out of curiosity - how much time it took to print all the grill parts needed (four frame pieces and the mesh) and how much material You used for that? thanks!

[@jaguarrroman]

Very nice, at least you have got 2 different grilles for a change now. You can change the face of your car from time to time (facelift it)☺️☺️☺️

[@BobBee]

Haha that’s true 😃👍

[@UpSideMuzic]

bro, I need the grill for my 04. I don't wanna change the front bumper, but I really want the facelift grill. PLEASE contact me so we can work something out. u've done it already, u could easily make a couple more people happy now

[@Eric-qi9us]

wow it actually turned out great i love it

[@CAHTA1]

Hi mate! Looks awesome! Can you share the 3d model please?

[@Mk7project]

Wow, thats nice👍

[@absolarix]

Looks pretty good, though the lines don't quite match up. I think you'd be able to get a better fit if you used a 3D scanning app on your phone to scan the original grill, then base your new model on the dimensions of that. As a proof of concept though, this looks like its works very well! Though I am curious of how parts like this will stand the test of time.

Nicely done! 👌

[@BobBee]

Thanks 😃

[@firasdalabeeh8571]

[@lucho3865]

Do you happen to have the measurement for the grill?

[@romandise]

Bob, I was thinking to make exactly this low cost method for my Jaguar X Type too, thanks for showing the results, and I preffer to buy it xD

[@BobBee]

Thanks 😃 if you’re a bit handy with the 3d printer is really easy too make parts like this.

[@aminumariam7488]

I really love your work would you make one forsle.

[@timothyjoosen7514]

If you need more parts, i am you're men

[@patrickgajadhar5723]

Beautiful

[@fairbornCCF]

I have been wanting to do the same thing. Did you consider printing in alignment holes or features? Also what was the material you used you said it too fast for me. -Thank you great job.

[@BobBee]

The material I used is ApolloX. When I would print a second version I would make some improvements like the attachments .

[@jdm18244]

the material is asa based, asa commonly used for automotive needs in 3d printing

[@whoakadafi999dubz3]

Trash 🗑 looks like cheap plastic crap

[@BobBee]

Haha ok . I still have the original grille for haters like you
