Printed Fluid Reservoirs

[Steve Thomas]

Actually no, I was referring to the brake reservoir.

you were but I think Eric had the clutch in mind.

perhaps for the US market vs others?

Maybe year? The one in my pics is probably from an 80.

Just checked on a 78 - that is the same, brkt has slots, reservoir has protrusions.

Pic of my OE 86.

which materials, settings etc? Very happy to learn from the experience of others!

The part was printed in a Stratasys uprint se using ABS. It was a few years ago so I'm not sure of settings. From memory we didn't have much to play with on the old stratasys.

Nice job, Steve!
FWIW, my 79 brake reservoir also has the ridge and protrusions, as well as the slots in the bracket.

Stratasys uprint se using ABS

yeah.... Not a great printer for sure and a very old school business model at Stratasys - as I read it, just ABS and just Stratasys filament complete with a dongle with each roll - no dongle no print. And mega expensive too. Well built machines that are good to hack by ripping out all the Stratasys electronics I am using a Sovol S04 and once I get successful prints in PP and or PA12, I will share the detail. My starting points are the default settings in Cura [the slicer].

Perhaps I'm wrong about the protrusions on the brake reservoir. But I do not recall ever seeing them, but maybe they are there?? Like I said, mine are buried so I can't verify it now.
