  1. Building my own flush tail lights

    Those are the combat offroads tail gunner lights. I have those on my gladiator at the moment.
  2. Building my own flush tail lights

    Here's how it is looking after a lot of sanding, and some paint.
  3. Building my own flush tail lights

    Yes, everything should be able to be painted to match your vehicle. I'll take pictures tonight, of the one I have been working on that will be on my vehicle soon... Has taken a lot of sanding to get all the layer lines out, but now looks like a production part... Just giving the paint a few...
  4. Building my own flush tail lights

    Resin printer arrived today. About to start my first print on it... Turns out it will be a 35 hour print for 2 tail lights. Lol we will see how it comes out in 2 days
  5. Building my own flush tail lights

    There will be one with off the shelf oval lights. You can already buy some like these from combat off-road. Just a little expensive
  6. Building my own flush tail lights

    In all honesty, I'll probably never make back the time and money spent on creating all of this. I find it fun and enjoy doing it. If China starts creating them, then even better, at least every one would be able to get a set at a reasonable price... I would be more than happy to give my 3d...
  7. Building my own flush tail lights

    Looks like a patent cost a pretty penny
  8. Building my own flush tail lights

    Also, if the resin printer works great, it can produce two at one time... But the higher temp resins cost $37+ a bottle... Will take 1 bottle to produce 1 set of lights. The higher temp resins take a longer time to cure each layer, so it will probably take a day to produce a set. Then you have...
  9. Building my own flush tail lights

    I might sell a few... But at the moment the process to produce is way too time consuming. I'm working on this. I might use PLA which is the easiest to print, but it can't withstand heat. However if I cast it in a fine sand like material and bake it (anneal it), it can withstand higher temps...

    Here's progress for today
  14. Building my own flush tail lights

    Another update..... I found a light that I can make completely flush tail lights with. I will work on the design tonight, and hopefully have some pictures up for the weekend.
  15. Building my own flush tail lights

    I ended up getting a qidi x plus 3. I will also probably get a qidi x max 3 when it is available. I just purchased today a anycubic photon m3 max which is a resin printer with a big enough build volume to print two lights at a time. I didn't realize 3d print resins have come so far that now...
  16. Building my own flush tail lights

    I could easily do that. I will see today how much room I have with the 3/4 lights and let you know
  17. Building my own flush tail lights

    Just a update, new fully enclosed 3d printer arrived yesterday, for printing higher temp plastics like abs, asa, poly carbonate, nylon, etc. At the moment I'm printing a driver side with holes for side markers. Should hopefully be done when I get home from work today :)
  18. Building my own flush tail lights

    At the moment, I have purchased so many gladiator tail lights that I just cut the pigtails off of them.. I will be sourcing some plugs shortly
  19. Building my own flush tail lights

    I'll work on that... Think I have the perfect lights coming in for it today.
  20. Building my own flush tail lights

    Great idea, but doesn't look possible with the gladiator unfortunately
