3D Printed Hardtop
I am working on getting a production version of Inateno’s hardtop design ready. I have gone through 4 iterations to arrive at a version that is suitable for my track car, but there are several improvements I want to make before offering these tops for sale.
I will be attempting to modify the mounting points to include actual metal fasteners rather than just relying on bolting straight into the plastic.
I am going to experiment with materials. The PETG tops that I printed melted in direct sun on a hot day and were not suitable for use. The ASA top that I printed warped too much and did not assemble well. It also was very brittle and would crack when adding fasteners.
I am going to experiment with wall thickness and infill, modifying key areas.
The goal of this project will be to produce a “hardtop in a box” that can be shipped to you for easy DIY assembly.
