Hey all,
THE RISERS ARE NOW LIVE! Please visit shophef.com to purchase. You can contact me directly but my website has better shipping rates. I also created an installation video, which shows you the effectiveness of these risers.
Initial post:
My first ever product that brought me into the DSM freelance community, were my 3D printed bumper risers (v1). This was a solution to stop 2g front bumpers from sagging when the front crash bar is removed. The support from the community was overwhelming and I appreciate every member on this forum. This product ended up kickstarting my small business of making parts just for you guys. I wanted to add the bumper risers permanently to my website, but I was not happy with the original design. I took all the lessons learned over the years and I bring you, version 2 of my 3D printed bumper risers!
I want to gauge interest for this product. It'll take a lot of hours creating these bumper riser sets, and I want to see what the community thinks before I finalize and release. These are all prototype pieces so excuse any quality issues you see.
Here's a couple important changes:
The riser is printed so that there is ZERO chance of shearing at layer lines.
The platform that the riser sits on is significantly longer, covering more of the underside of the headlight and matching the curve.
More structural integrity by using nut & bolts for the stresses. 1 assists in supporting the riser, and another gives more integrity to the platform holding the bumper.
The single mounting hole mounting the riser to the frame, is now a threaded insert. No risk of shearing threads!
Other aspects to note:
The entire assembly is 3D printed ABS. Comes in 3 pieces with very simple assembly (1 bolt).
Riser is slightly adjustable. The mounting hole in the frame rail can slide forwards and backwards. As well the riser supporting bolt can be tightened for a little extra height if needed.
For a set of risers for both sides (driver and passenger) my price of $70 USD for the pair, with all the necessary hardware included.
Thank you for reading! Let me know what you guys think.
edit: did some math and minor pricing adjustment
edit2: the risers are now available + installation video at the start of the post
