    Glad to hear it! I'm not sure whether to be excited or distraught that people are now going to be smelling these things... :scratch::laughcry:

    A couple quick updates: All of the shipments for the orders placed at this point have been dropped off at the post office and are on their way to you. You should have received an email with the order status and a tracking link, and you should receive your order in the next 3-7 days, depending...

    Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder, @Devin — I meant to address that in my last message but completely forgot to include it. For everyone who ordered the STL files, I will be sending the additional STL file for the new part to the email you used to make the purchase tomorrow. The new clamp will...

    Alright, I have a bunch of updates to announce here: I have received all of the parts from the manufacturer, and I now have enough inventory on hand to fill all orders, plus a few extras for any latecomers. I will be packing up your orders early this coming week and they should be on their way...

    Just a quick note: My supplier has notified me of unexpected delays in the printing process. In my previous orders (which were much smaller), the parts would already be printed and on their way to me by now, but there apparently were QC issues that caused them to be scrapped and reprinted, so...

    So I decided to drop the fuel tank...

    I mean, to be fair, the pictures did include a ruler. Edit: In case that was a serious question, I scaled the pics until 1mm on the pictured ruler was actually 1mm on my screen, then I was able to use my calipers to measure all of the features and sketch the basic shape in Fusion. The parallax...

    DM sent. Also, I forgot to post my test print pics last week, so here are some I shot just now. This was just a quick print to check dimensional accuracy, but it's kind of a complicated part to design without being able to measure everything directly, so it's probably not 100% correct. Once I...

    So I decided to drop the fuel tank...

    I took a stab at modeling this clip, and I think I have a decent first draft: I printed it out last night, but I don't have the print with me at the office. I'll take a pic when I get home and update this post. I'm not 100% confident in the shape and scale of the part though. @excidere, if...

    Okay, I placed the order with my supplier for these parts this morning. I would normally expect to receive them in about 10 days, but with the latest customs/tariffs changes, that may be extended. I also put together a quick assembly diagram for these, based on the diagram in the Ford SHO...

    No, not yet, but I had planned on doing this first run, making sure everyone's happy with the parts, and then contacting Shosource to see if they want to go in on it. I can send them one of my extra sets of each color to evaluate at that time. I decided that I wanted to have a proven product...

    Last call for orders on these. I will be placing the order from my supplier first thing tomorrow morning for all of the sets ordered up to that point, plus a few extras to keep on hand for stragglers. I will keep you all posted on the order status in this thread. Thanks again to everyone who...

    Good question. I tried various amounts before settling on 100% for strength reasons but I think I was already printing them on their sides by that point. At the time, my mission was to sell my own prints and I was erring on the side of caution to be sure I wasn't going to be selling a...

    Nice! Those look excellent! Definitely stress test them though — I had a lot of problems with those thin sections breaking along the layer lines, especially when they flexed during wire insertion. Printing them on their sides went a long way towards solving that problem though, so if you find...

    Hmmm.. you should have been offered a download when you checked out. I can send you the link manually tomorrow when I’m back in front of a real computer — I’ll contact you directly to get that taken care of. (So far you’re the only one who’s bought the STL files, but I did test it out on...

    Sure, here are some pics of the screws on my desk: I took a couple shots of the grey clips installed on my car, but honestly, the valve covers are so dirty, they're kind of embarrassing and I think I need to really detail the valve covers and take some better shots. You can't really see the...

    Yes, I had Paypal enabled as a payment method but apparently broke it at some point. I have fixed that feature and Paypal should be working now. All of the payment processors take their cut and I have built that percentage into the prices, so don't worry about it. :smile:

    I have been ready to start the group buy on these for a while, but I kinda forgot about the project, so thank you @Sho-N-Go for reminding me. I have just created the official Group Buy thread here...

    From the overwhelmingly positive response I got in the Gauging Interest post for these clips, I've nailed down a "Production Version 1" design and I'm ready to take orders. I have had the final version of these clips installed on my car for about 4 months and have had no issues with them. I've...
