Frequently Asked Questions and Information on 3D Printed Sidchrome Replacement Inserts

Rather than answering these questions repeatedly on the various product pages I have collated the info here. As more questions get asked I’ll add answers to this page.

Can you make me an insert?

I no longer print the inserts myself; you can purchase the files for them from this site so that you can print them yourself. If/when someone wants to print them for the community and gets in touch I will link to them from here.

What should I print them in?

I printed them in ABS for heat resistance and ease of printing; PETG would be my other suggestion if you prefer not to print ABS.

Help! My insert or tools don’t fit!

Drop me a line via the contact form for printing tips; I have printed these on a half dozen different tuned printer makes and models successfully, so it’s likely to come down to printer tuning – unless you have an insert for the wrong era.

Can you make an insert that isn’t listed for sale?

As it stands I’m not taking on new designs.
