Appreciate that! Glad it's holding up.

Thanks for this. I’m pretty confident it’ll fit. I’ve got one going out for test fit on a 2022 so I’ll post back here one it’s confirmed.

$35 is a great price for this. Ordered!
I’ll give him credit for the customer service side. No question there. I like Rich and it's not my intent to attack the guy. I was one of the first supporters of his venture.
My concern here is separate from that - it’s the engineering and material-selection side, and the broader implications for the industry. OTC is moving parts now, and poor material choices at that volume can hurt the reputation of the additive manufacturing industry. It’s generally considered wise not to shit where you eat
PETG may survive under the hood most of the time, but when a marginal material fails in an environment like this, most customers don’t walk away thinking “wrong polymer choice.” They walk away thinking “3D-printed parts are junk.” That’s the reputation those of us working in additive manufacturing have to overcome. It hurts the industry as a whole.
That’s why I think the material should be disclosed and why I’d encourage using a more heat-tolerant polymer appropriate for the environment rather than a material that is widely regarded by those in the industry as a poor choice for underhood applications.
That’s really the only point I’m trying to make. Hopefully Rich gives some thought to what I've presented here.
I have seen turbos so hot you can see the impellers spinning. It’s hard to identify a safe temperature for inhouse components. 1300 degrees at the turbo should be normal and probably higher on the exhaust.

Ordered. Thank you!
Ordered - thanks for offering this as such a reasonable price
Who's running the printed products on teh 20+ trucks or we still waiting for testers?
I think they are testing/confirming fitment. Might even be waiting on USPS deliveries.

I have one headed my way for a test fit on my '22. @FunctionFirstDesign has been awesome to work with!

Thank you, I just placed my order

Wow guys. I'm blown away by the support this has gotten. I honestly didn't expect the volume of orders that have come through.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to be completely transparent. I tried to get this available as quickly as possible, so I didn't have an inventory built up prior to listing as I usually would. That said, I've just added another printer and even borrowed one from a friend. All of my machines are running around the clock to get these out as fast as possible. I'll process orders in the order they came in, so if a few days go by without any notifications, please be patient as I get caught up and trust that I'm working through them as fast as I can.
As always, if you have any concerns or order status questions, please reach out to me directly. Thanks again for all of the support. This is truly an amazing community!
