Measure Twice, Print Once
 
Well, I just received my 3D-printed grille, all the way from Belgium! It's been about a month, and it finally arrived.

Buried underneath a bunch of packing peanuts, was.... :eek::o

My grille...

Well, it looks great, but it is about 1/6 the size it should be. I went back, and it measured in at a whopping 37mm...:p

I'm emailing their team about some slight design errors, and hopefully they will send me a new one!

Until then, I guess...;)

haha, oops! I'm guessing someone mis-read 87mm for 37mm.

At least you have a grill for its smaller twin...

Oh that's gotta hurt! Hope they get the right sized one to you ASAP.

You should not have a problem there just go to your tool box and take out your Grill Stretcher that will take care of the problem. Ed :bounce:

Haha, you guys are great!

I like to look at it as a quality test.

I think I may need to print up a cab, RCT!

Anyone need this for a micro-rig? :D

Win some, loose some. Looks like it would be really nice, if it was the right size though.
