looking for who ever printed this brake duct
Really want to re find the thread with this photo I had saved for reference.
Can't find the thread and don't know if it was Ryan, the SuperMiata guys, TrackSpeed crew, Savington or an enterprising customer?
Would like to know if whoever printed this brake duct to flow air directly on the caliper would like to print / sell another set, or provide me some direction on having a set printed?
Also how did they work? And if possible shots showing attachment.
Thinking of combining with Singular ducts for a dual hose setup on my STR42's which are on the edge.

Google reverse image search took me right to the source: The supermiata S1 vegas build thread

That was fast thank you.
Work computer still will not let me reverse image lookup.
I should have known as Vegas was one of my favorite builds.
Will email Emilio tomorrow, lord knows I have already given him my credit card enough times? Once more?

The guys at SuperMiata nicely replied very quickly last night.
Unfortunately the ducts on Vegas are considered proprietary and they will not be selling/making additional ones.
Guess its up to me to find someone to print some. 3" duct to an oval opening with an attachment point on the Xida shaft.
Any ideas?

I think your first challenge will be getting a CAD file (STL, STEP, DXF, etc) for the ducts. If Supermiata is willing to share the design with you or have a design, getting it printed would be relatively easy. There are a ton of shops/companies that will print things for a fee.
I'm assuming Supermiata is not willing to share the design based on your last post (I don't blame them TBH). I would suggest you find/make a friend that knows how to do CAD and is local to you. Otherwise, I suggest you get a pair of calipers and learn how to do CAD. Fusion360 seems to be the go to for many these days. McMaster will probably have something you can use as a clamp to serve as a mounting point or you can design and have that printed too.

Quick google search turned up this shop in Orlando, there are several more.
