3D Printed Air Scoop Help

JerqFase · 01-29-2021, 12:05 AM

Does someone have a pair of any brand snorkle air scoops that they can gather measurements on? I'd like to create a 3D print design of air scoops for my '09 135 and it'd be nice not to start from scratch. The e90 ones i found are too large. Once I've got a working design, I'll post a link to Thingiverse for anyone else to make for free.

Any thoughts on shape? I've seen angular and rounded. Myself, I prefer the look of a 45 degree angular design.

did you get this done? I'm about to reinvent the wheel for my relocated inlets

Do you have a link to an example scoop?

i found a guy trying to sell the STL file here:

needless to say i dont want to pay so i'm going to design my own and will publish it (for free) once i can confirm it fits on my car.

Awesome! I tried many iterations, but I'm no cad person and the process was slow and inefficient. Decided my time was better spent keeping a bmw maintained

i had a go designing one using TinkerCAD.

First time designing anything.

I took the measurements off my E88:
