Figured I'd make a smoother intake system, since my hot air intake system fell off somewhere down the line. Simply push and more or less snaps on. Can clamp if you want to make sure. Wise to print in something higher temp, like ABS or ASA. This one is PLA just to test. Will fall off/melt eventually... :)

I bought my Insight with a broken spoiler mounting tab, and reading through here sounds like it is a very common failure mode. I printed this in ABS and was able to score the spoiler and attach this with an ABS slurry with pretty decent strength. I was very careful doing so, but I was able to install the hardware with a torque driver 48hrs or so after I did so (time for acetone to flash off and harden).

Take your time installing as this will effect the alignment

Hope this can help save some perfectly good spoilers!

Very nice!
Not to rain on your parade, I also did spoiler attachment parts if you ever want/need to redo it (scroll up for photos too):

Perhaps we need better cataloging of all the parts people have designed.
@retepsnikrep Could we get the first post updated?

Designed replacements for the fragile mounts that the metal clips on to on the A-Pillar Trims. I haven't installed the part yet, so I can't be sure of the fitment, but it looks pretty good.

Love it! Are there any markings on the inside of the trim that say what plastic it is? The rear spoiler is ABS, which makes it super easy to glue to. I'd assume the window trim is polypropylene? Should be able to find a suitable adhesive to get ABS prints to stick very well if that's the case.

Not at all what you asked for, but with some help from Mudder, I designed a thing to mount a B1W dashcam from Amazon to the rear view mirror mount of these cars.

anyone have a driver's side sun visor clip file made up? Mine snapped and would be cool to not have the visor hanging down as much, thank you!
Just order them new from Honda, they're only a few dollars. I ordered some recently, I can lookup the part numbers

This thread is to list any available 3D printed parts for the G1 Insight.

If you know of anything G1 related please add it to the list.
Feel free to start a new thread for the G2 in the appropriate section.
Many thanks to the contributors who have designed things so far!

Does anyone here sell the printed air box clips as I'm missing both of them but I don't have access to a 3D printer. I will obviously pay and also for the postage as I live in Scotland.

This is such great news to learn of. Thank you for the work on this. Have you had a chance to make the repair? I would like to give them a try. Looking great.
Yeah, I repaired the passenger a-pillar of my car and have had it up over 90 mph with no problems (obviously on a closed course with a professional driver)

When I bought my Insight last year it was missing the screw cover for the dash that's on the right side of the two center vents. I designed a replacement that matches the vent contours decently well and the fit of the PETG print has been solid for the past 6 months or so.

Not sure if there are other solutions to replacing this particular piece... I hardly know what to call it, which made searching around for it difficult. In any case, this design ended up being a cheap/easy fix for me and I've been happy not looking at the exposed screw head/cracked plastic on my dash anymore.
