Good point!

@72C_ten your STL files are now posted www.diyfabshop.com/alignmentkit Please let me know how they fit and/or if any tweaks are needed. Thanks for watching!

@@DIYFabShop Looks like GM made the detents WAY longer then they needed to be. Can you shorten the detent length to .18", everything else looks good. THANKS!

@@72C_ten stl updated and reposted to www.diyfabshop.com/alignmentkit thanks for closing the loop on the dimensions.

@mattbush315 I haven't compared to a 3 point camber gauge, but the spokes on my wheel are spaced far enough apart I can reach in and put magnetic gauge right on the face of the brake rotor. The readings varied from spot on to within 0.1 degree. It's a good point and something worth keeping an eye on. Thanks for watching!

Good tip, at $5 each they would be about $.27 an inch as opposed to the Amazon ones I used being $0.32 an inch. The sale version of HB ones obviously more of a savings. I won't be redesigning the magnet pockets on these, but anyone designing from scratch should consider that hack. Thanks for watching!

If your friend network doesn't include anyone with a 3D printer, you can search your local community for a makerspace, they can often be found affiliated with technical college or even high schools. Good Luck!

@plurby1703 the stl files for your wheels are now available www.diyfabshop.com/alignmentkit. Keep in mind you want the threaded plug to turn all the way into the hub adapter so it is consistent wheel to wheel. This may require a little sanding where the threaded plug pushes on the back of the detent fingers. Good luck and let me know if you have other questions and how it fits! Thanks for watching!

@@DIYFabShop No WAY!! Thank you! I can't wait to give it a shot! Those Centercaps should be good for 86/BRZ/WRX in the Apex Line for those. THANK YOU!

@@DIYFabShop Just an update - printed off the hub adapter for the wheel and it fits perfectly. Currently printing off the threaded plug. Can't wait to get aligning! Thank you again!

@@DIYFabShop Final update - This plug works for stock 86/BRZ/WRX as well. Just confirmed with my stock wheels.

Thanks, I will add that to the database!

Agreed, just me being lazy as I don't have a sink set up in my shop yet so I find I keep topping off the glue without cleaning the plates as often as I should.

@ I only mention it because I noticed it transferring to your prints. I have a Bambu and hit my plates with a light spray of hair spray. Makes for a mess free operation.

@exidous6831 a link to your stl files can be found at the bottom of this page www.diyfabshop.com/alignmentkit Please let me know how they fit once you get a chance to try it out. Thanks for watching!

@@DIYFabShop Hey, it fits quite nicely. With the given taper in the tab you can take .25mm off the height and put it at 4.5mm. It's probably 0.5-1mm movement but a little play I think is okay.

@@exidous6831 sounds good!

Come on, I'm not a miracle worker here, lol

100%, dang it, I meant to mention that in the video. @everyone when fitting hub adapter to wheel it is important that the amount the threaded plug screws into the hub adapter is consistent across all wheels. Getting the threaded plug to fully seat is the best way to do that. If your threaded plug is not fully threading into the hub adapter, you could try to carefully sand away some material from where the threaded plug supports the detent fingers on the hub adapter. Thank you @zman24250!

@Kmnri I am happy to see if I can design a variant that utilizes M6 for the threaded knob. As far as using standard camera tripods to support the conduit, it is my understanding the the 1/4-20 fastener is a worldwide standard. Are you able to source a simple 1/4-20 nut, or is that a challenge as well?

@@DIYFabShop Yes, camera mounts are standard but still very hard to find. But: aluminium extrusions (maybe use a standard extrusion that are premade for t-nuts, like on 3D printer), 20x20 or multipliers of 10. Rivet Nuts - you should be able to get metric ones no problem. Imperial doesn't exist here. Knobs - can be 3d printed as well, add unnecessary cost considering a normal M5, M6 or so hex head nut can be used. Mechanics here that deal with normal cars haven't seen imperial threads their entire life. EDIT: idea is great but to get more widespread adoption, use metric hardware.

@LearnToRace is the matching retention groove in the wheel a full 360 degree feature or is it segmented?

@LearnToRace I did make the STL files which you can find here: www.diyfabshop.com/alignmentkit

@DIYFabShop it's full 360 groove so I guess the dentents can put put on all 6, don't know why they only choose to put them on 3, thanks for doing the file I'll check it out

Yes, I just need a couple dimensions for the wheel hub cap. See DIYFabShop.com alignment project page for details.

@chadcoady9025 I have no experience embedding something in a print. The magnets I have been using have a bit of a radius around the outside, I assume there some practical limit to how flat and sharp cornered what you embed has to be in order to not end up with a mess. In your experience is it fairly forgiving or is that the "hard part"?

@@DIYFabShop It's pretty forgiving/easy as long as the magnets don't have a lot of variation in thickness. You don't want the print nozzle to run into magnets that are sitting proud of the slot. I would make a few test prints for just the magnets to get an idea of how large to make the slots. Typically, .25-.5mm of extra height for the slot (deeper slot than the thickness of the magnet) will simply get covered by a "bridge" when you resume your print. You'll have to do a couple different prints, obviously, until you find the right dimensions for the magnets to fit into, but it's worth it for saving time on printing and assembly. I designed and printed chess pieces a while back where I fitted them with a stack of nickels nickels (or pennies for the pawns) to give them extra weights weight and the Bambu printer had no problem doing it.

On my website you can find links to the native Onshape files. You would need to create a free account for "makers" in Onshape in order to access and modify the files, but Onshape is very similar to other programs so learning curve would not be that bad. Thanks for watching! www.diyfabshop.com

Glad you like them, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions when you are putting them together. Thanks for watching!

Yeah with 3D printing speeds increasing over time it really opens up projects like these. Thanks for watching!

Nice, thanks for watching!

Good ideas, maybe add some "feet" to hold it off the surface?? The magnets are going to attract metal dust in any shop that there is grinding going on, so feels like a solution needs to address being soft and also not capturing metal dust on the surface that would come in contact with nice paint etc. Thanks for watching!

@danielbeckham4786 I have added stl to the crowdsource file on my webpage. Please let me know how the fit turns out. www.diyfabshop.com/alignmentkit

Thank you, will do.

Thanks for watching!

@rygeros hit me up with an email, you should be able to find the email in my channel "about" section.

@ i cant find your email nowhere

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching!

@iimuchfa you should be able to find my email in the about section of DIY Fab Shop channel. I would be willing to try to work with you to get something that works.
