Default 3D Printable Parts Collection

I'm trying to put together a collection of 3D printable parts, specifically for the D2. I already have a small collection including rain gutter finishers (thanks to forum user SCSAND), a center cap for the 16" wheels, a headlight clip, and the rear door panel clips which break all the time. I'm posting them all to my thingaverse account located here:

https://www.thingiverse.com/greisinb/designs

If you have or come across one let me know and I will add it if I can. As a side note, many libraries have 3D printers so if you need something made for you check there first, I read about a guy who used the rain gutter finishers and had them printed at his library for $1, a single buck! I truly think that 3D printing is a technology that will change the game for older vehicle parts, as the tech gets cheaper and cheaper and better and better I think you'll start to see them everywhere!

Edit 9/30/19: Added center console phone holder
Edit 10/6/19: Added grab handle spacer and rear work light mounts
Edit 10/7/19: Added diff plug socket adapter
Edit 10/21/19: Added Cup Holder Insert (2 models)

Thanks for this!
The rain gutter corners is a great idea and are hard to come by.
Maybe horn buttons or an ash tray that has a USB port/slot on it? I’m thinking parts that are easy to make and small.

This is awesome- are you compiling or drawing these?

I’d like to second “horn button”.
I’ve been contemplating modelling those for ages.

Cool stuff. I am looking for connector housings (switches).

The crimp connector pins are pretty standard and available for pennies on Mouser.

Thanks! For the most part I'm "collecting" and hoping to make parts easier for others to find, but I can/have designed things. Not going to lie, I'll probably stick to designing things that I need then posting them instead of taking requests (my Rover has enough problems on its own!) But I'll see what I can do about some things. I would recommend taking a look at Thingaverse, GabCAD, and 3D Content Central- the last one especially for industry grade stuff, you might be able to find those switch connector housings. If you find a 3D file and need it converted to an STL for printing let me know, I can do that no problem.

Not exactly on the same scale as originally posted but I think it's kind of cool. A 3d printed miniature.
