After you scan can you down size the exterior surface to allow for leather?
What did you do to your E9 today?

That would be an exceedingly simple modification. At that point might be worth taking the part to an upholsterer and asking if there are some other modifications that would make covering in leather much easier for them before you end up printing it. May as well play to the audience.
Yes, I always do this when designing parts that are to be covered with material.
I factor the average thickness of the leather/vinyl—or any foam backing—into the design.
I don’t use flocking on the inner surfaces of these components, as it tends to crumble and cause scratches over time.
I have an upholsterer who works wonders with Alcantara...

I hate to say it, but that car has a good look to it. Would make a good-looking shell for a body on chassis kind of project.
I'm old school and boring. I like plain black leather
Beverly Hills Auto would definitely buy this from you.
They would not give you much for it I'm sure, but they do have a bunch like it that they are trying to move...
Took my coupe to the Dealer on Nov 2nd to have the clock turned back 1 hour. Their standard diagnostic fee was $200. They told me to come back in 11 hours.....

Put in a new fuel filter and condenser, cleaned and regapped the points. Running pretty well!
