3D Printed Tire Chock

Distinct · 12-12-2023, 08:08 PM

Car is in winter storage and I modified a tire chock model more appropriate for our tire size and width. Allows me to release the hand brake with some fun style during the winter.

It's not my original design. Here is a link to the original file source... https://www.printables.com/model/582...e-sehr-stabile

I remixed it a little to suit our M2C.

Nice! Any interest in making some extras for your friends on here??

I have published the file here for anyone that wants to print themselves or get a local service to do it. For anyone in the Toronto area, I'm happy to print these up at cost. I'm not a business.

Great design OP!

Another option for those not looking to 3d print them are to pick these ones up from Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/solid-...ock-96479.html

Solid rubber and only $8. These are what I use on my 4 post lift, instead of the silly metal ones that Bendpak includes.

I can print a few at cost for folks in the SF Bay Area (it's about $15 in filament for each unit in clear PETG like OP's).

I would not mind printing and shipping them for folks in the rest of the US, but I honestly do not think that it would make a lot of sense price-wise compared to the Amazon/HF options once you factor in the 3D printer running costs and shipping (and potentially a tip for OP's design).
