Red face 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....

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...

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.

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

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?

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