Mine tail lights are still in development, and I'm still sorting issues. So it will still be some time before I'm in production.
I have owned Oracle tails and I never had issues.. my gladiator had led lights from factory though....
Alright finally got the measurements right, threw it in the oven for a few minutes then placed her on the light.... Works great!
This is just a test piece and isn't the same filament that I'll be using... Therefore it isn't very transparent...
Also the light body is just a test piece...
Little update.... No pictures yet
While thinking about what to do with the lens, I was going to purchase a new laser that could cut them.... I was going to do this because I was thinking 3mm thick lens should be pretty flexible... Even though it's supposed to be a curved lens I could easily cut...
There's definitely plenty of sheets I can buy to make work....
However that requires me cutting it precisely, and then heating it and molding it correctly. Which I would be perfectly fine building a vacuum former , heating and molding.... But I don't care to do all the cutting over and over...
I kind of liked that the bumper was hitting, but I might move the silhouette up to were it is trying to crawl up the full vertical...

I haven't tried it in the new configuration yet.... I'll try it soon... I really wanted to focus on the redesign to clean up my cad so everything would be easier to modify.
My next step will be to put a divider under the difusser....
If that don't work then I'll have to make a divider with...
Chris,
When you get it, just send me a DM and if you ask anyone here I'm pretty fast at responding..... So I will gladly walk you through the process.... Don't be afraid of it, just do it :-)
Lens should be fine, I'm using poly carbonate.
Keeping water out I plan on gluing it in with silicone so I think it will be good....
I redesigned the entire thing today...
New prints should be a lot cleaner and a lot better fit of the lens
Here's a ruff draft... I haven't cleaned it all the way up yet (remove all the debris from the supports ) the Easter egg jeep looks like it's blowing smoke off the tires lol.
But the ASA filament looks really great.
The lens is the best I've done so far, but the one printing at the moment I...

Actually purchased the biggest affordable resin printer for the tail lights...
All I can say is, I want nothing to do with resin lol. Stinky, nasty, and for the high temp resins it was going to take 48 hours to print a tail light because of the exposure time required to harden the high...
