paul1of7 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I just got the first set of 3D printed Inner Panels. The surface has a bit of texture, but overall I think they look pretty good. Let me know if anyone is interested in buying a set. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Wow those look great, one of mine is pretty well cracked so i've not wanted to install either side for fear of them just shattering. What's the pricing like on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1of7 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 This prototype set cost me $300. I'm hoping to negotiate a better price on a batch of them. That's why I was hoping to get a feel for how many people are interested, and at what price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atx Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Ahhh got it, yeah i'd be down for 1 set if under say 100 bucks? But really your best bet may be to reach out to the maker and get price ranges for batch sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when members do things like this to help the community. I've got a number of mods obtained from the efforts of other members on the forum. Good stuff.

Member Contributer 07VFR03TLR Posted November 20, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted November 20, 2020 I need to look at mine and see if they're as brittle as some of these other parts. I have to decide whether I want to do the resto or pass it on to someone else. This year has been a total mess with the covid running wild. I'm in Elgin.

750vfrider Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I would be interested in a set of these. My left inner fairing panel is broken. Been searching for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatwolf Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Would also be interested. But not at 300. maybe at 100-130$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer DannoXYZ Posted December 21, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted December 21, 2020 since you have model, can you convert it into mould? Would lower cost of your time & materials. Then you can quickly make them out of fibreglass from mould. Just 2-3 layers and it's done! Could reasonably sell set for $200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted May 8, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted May 8, 2021 Those look great - I really like the textured look. Keep us posted on your negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattymike69 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hello from Maggie Valley,NC. I'd really like to have a copy of the stl files , I have 5 3d printers. My 86 700f is missing both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted September 18, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 18, 2021 I'm down for a set and willing to pay the going rate. These are NLA and really finish off a restored by bike. Any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer tomk1960 Posted September 29, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 29, 2021 With Paul's help, I did a little research into getting these made. The STIL files are NOT inexpensive and he spent a lot of his own money just to buy his first set of panels. The cost to make them will never be $100-$130 unless you own a large 3D printer and do them for cost. A pair like the ones he had made (which are beautiful) will cost at least $300 anywhere, plus shipping. Unless someone here is willing to make the panels at cost for us, I don't think it's to Paul's advantage to give away (or even sell the cheaply) those expensive STIL files. These are the type of NLA parts that just can't be reproduced cheaply without laying down a lot of cash up front. Kudos to Paul for doing it.
