I'm interested in this as well. Not for the GK though. I want a part 3d printed for my Honda Civic. Just slightly enlarged, if that's possible. I've never had this done but am very interested.

I dont think I'll be able to revise my CAD to accomodate your custom size, im sorry. I made the mistake not to OPT for a *.step file conversion when I got my part reverse engineered. I'm stuck with an *.STL file, and no i am not a 3Dcad expert, so im limited pretty much. I can still sell you one if youre interested, I will have 2 more units ready to ship out by the 28th. DM me for details.
Thanks for sharing your experience again 2Rismo2. Currently the 3D printed version is not since the print orientation is already optimized as configured, any other orientation will cause the snap on features not to print right. I might be able to fiddle around with it more, but i doubt I could get smooth surface on tue part. I wanted to go Injection Molding, but didnt have funds to invest in the tooling. I am simply selling the part not only to share with the GK community, but at the very least get my money back for the investment in R&D. It costed an arm to get an reverse engineering company to 3d scan my part.
Cheers
No thanks needed man. It's a good product and I'm thankful you did the legwork to make it available to us.
Just another datapoint as I got a OBDLink MX+ over the weekend and I started playing with it. Reading was taken while outside temperature was about 70* according to the Fit's display and cruise control at around 62 MPH on relatively flat road. Intake air temperature would read about 3-7* higher anytime I'd look. At some point, I'll try to get the stock intake reading as a comparison.
I'll give a longer review of the OBD reader once I have more time with it.
Hey FF, I have one unit ready to ship. Trying to get another interest list going. Will probably print 3-4 more and call it quits. Price point is not justifyable enough.
Im willing to bet it's very little gain in power for much increased risk. Any car that you throw a "cold air" or "ram air" intake on, instantly becomes a borderline fairweather only car. In heavy rain the moisture that isnt filtered by the normal passages of a stock airbox's dips and turns will screw with the o2 sensor.

FYI, Had it on for all 4 season (including heavy rain) and never had any issues, the bottom of the scoop is designed to allow any water entering the scoop to flow out above the radiatoe before any gets into the airbox. I live in Bay Area, CA btw. Already sold 15+ including the several batches of the Sumole version I imported from Singapore that I ended up modeling my 3d printed version from. So far I had no one complaints. Product is to be used at your own risk.

I've been using mine exclusively for about 43K. It's been used in rain storms and snow without any ill effect and I'm at around 90K now. When I first got it, I would open the airbox to see if any rain had penetrated into the air box after any rain and I didn't see any. Note the airbox also has a drain hole near the back. I don't check anymore.
One thing I do is I clean out the MAF after every oil change, about 9-10k miles as preventive maintenance.
I've never dynoed my car since it's just a daily commuter, but I could tell the car was more eager to accelerate versus the stock intake. Still one of the better "performance" mods that I've bought. Really only have the RAIS, K&N drop-in air filter and HKS Silent HI-Power axle back. Wouldn't mind getting the down pipe and b-pipe replaced, but 2 kids under 4 and doing a house renovation right now I have other priorities haha.
One thing I thought when I first got is creating a cover for the intake I can easily pop on in bad weather. After a not having any water penetration though, I let that idea go on the side burner. The intake still lets air through the little scoops behind the front grill.
With a similar setup, the car felt s little more eager. I did not have a measurable difference in the 1/4 mile though. This is with this type of setup and a homemade HKS (greenish) HKS panel filter.

this
very simple/clean/stealthy mod, it def rams air into where air should be going. imo , this scoop + k&n drop in filter .... over an intake system any day.
I would be more interested if they were quality made and looked more like the OEM part. 3d printed parts look like absolute trash.
Dude!! Im no admin, but there's no need to trash the guy... since he retro engineered the part, and made it to make a little profit... since the sumole one is not being done anymore... besides as long as it fulfills the purpose.....he is making good to the GK community... IMHO
