3D printed flex fuel sensor bracket
 
Hey folks. To start learning how to create my own 3D printed designs I modified a flex fuel sensor bracket to bolt up to a convenient spot in my engine bay. Since I didn't have a wiper fluid reservoir anymore, there were two M6 bolt holes in about the right spot for the sensor. The sensor just clips in and seems pretty secure. I may throw a zip tie around the whole thing as insurance. At least it's better than my previous setup that was just zip ties.

I assume this only fits an NA, but who knows. I uploaded the .step file to Thingiverse so hopefully it's easier for other folks to modify in the future. Enjoy!

Which material did you print with that can withstand engine bay heat?

Im guessing PETG

Some kind of impregnated nylon would be good too

Yup, PETG. I have some CF nylon on the way, so if this doesn't hold up I'll try that next.
