N54 3D printed parts

After dropping the engine off, I had time to find things to do that I've wanted to do.

Designed and had the heat shields for the front brake ducts 3D printed, I originally wanted to fabricate them from sheet aluminum but decided 3D printing would be easier.

Next thing I wanted to do was to make an oil pickup tube that is not plastic and which I can make a baffle that blocks off the oil in the pan completely around the oil pickup, which you can't do with the stock one because of the one mounting arm/leg.
