Heizungsventilrohrreparatur - Nylon 3D-Druck
Hallo!
Sorry for rolling the ball in English, my Deutsche Sprache is rather weak. I'll try to improve it later on.
My E30 MY91 Touring gave me another leak some time ago and after replacing - wastefully - 2yr old heater core for a brand-new one I discovered that it's the heater core valve, which is leaking. More precisely, it's the pipe which is cracked between the valve flange and heater core flange. The valve assembly was replaced 2 years ago with a good-looking used one, so I'm not going to buy another used one any more. Nor I am going to spend 266.23e + shipping + customs fee + VAT on a brand new one, since my valve is of the latter - all-black - design and both electromagnet valve and rubber membrane are in a pristine condition. I only need the pipe.
So I made a 3D model to be MFJ- or SLS-printed in Nylon. Or SLM-printed in stainl... Inox (see, I'm learning!) should someone with deep pockets decide to place such order. And speaking of or orders: please, let me know if you find it interesting or not. I really mean it: I'm appreciating both positive (e.g. ja, go fur it, wi need Heizungsventilrohrs) as well as negative (e.g. nein, I'll better order brand new one at der dealership). English isn't my mother tongue, I moved away from my home country 2 years ago and currently I'm starting a brand new life in southern Europe (slightly outside of EU). So I'm taking this take-down as an opportunity.
Vielen Dank und viele Grusse,
Zig
P.S.
I just tried going e30-talk, but their CAPTCHA isn't working so I couldn't complete registration process. If anybody is using both this forum and that, please ping administrator of that website and report about that broken funktion.
