United States 2006 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Buckingham Blue
3D Hobbyist Printer Wanted for FFRR Mod

Hive Mind...
What would Mike Brewer do?

Even if you are not able to help with the actual printing, but can provide an education about how to go about this - I am your pupil... I don't even know the lingo or how to communicate what I am looking for.

A few of us in another thread are working on getting a Pistol Grip Gear Lever from a Range Rover Sport fitted to a 2016 L405.
https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic65388.html



I think we have the electrical worked out, and we are in the process of getting the ugly unseen mechanicals worked out. As a Proof of Concept - that's great...

If this is to be a permanent mod - there needs to be a trim piece that either extends the L494 bezel...
Or a fully printed L405 Pistol Grip Bezel - the piece on the right does not fill the L405 cavity.



I can't get you dimensions just yet... and I am not really sure of the design.
I have heard that there are iPhone apps that will allow 3D scanning and it could be used to begin the design... I just wanted to get ahead of the curve and see if there are any Rover folks out there that would be interested in fabbing the 'pretty' bits... I have found Rover folks to be a bit more invested than just any ole prototyper.

Stateside would be ideal - but I am open to work with anyone! 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'

United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Vogue SDV8 Aintree Green

Best bet is to loiter outside a Makerspace:
https://makerspaces.make.co/
They are full of enthusiastic boffins who are well versed in making stuff using fancy tech like 3D printers.

Note however it won't look like the factory part!

Beautiful Truck!
I don't know if we can get Aintree Green over here - although I am purely a resale buyer so who knows?

Thanks Chris - it won't look factory... but with some sanding and silver spray - it may be passable...
This is great info - Thank You!

I will google Boffin - but using my context clues... I think I got it. 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb'
