Is anyone on here or in the UK generally able to 3D print Cali table rail fixings?

As below - I know people have searched for years for a profile that will easily work in the Cali to avoid using the VW brackets - anyone able to source similar or made their own please?

As per the GC here too:

Grand California Table

I have alway felt the internal table was to long, and a hassle to get around when trying to get to the passenger seat, so had it cut down and slightly reshaped. Still looks fairly original.

Exactly as per here with the extra support against the rail profile:

Someone was printing these last year.

Thread from November last year.

Popped up on similar threads below, Beach Occasional Table.

Thanks - had not seen that - anyone offering similar on the forum to members at a better price?!

If there was a print file available, there are people who would print them. It's one of my sons hobbies, but it takes time to design it. Its probably why people want a higher price for the finished parts. Its fascinating to watch, the printer can automatically change plastic during the print for colour change. He has recently bought a 3d milling machine. He said you can do aluminium on it as well.

Thanks - there is a print file feely available for the simpler type that I have:

And as pictured here: https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/grand-california-table.39362/#post-525812

But I'm guessing the heavier duty type I pictured in the post above may well be out there too?

 

[Max-Felix]

I've hopefully found someone to help with printing the regular type - but if anyone knows of a file for the heavy duty ones please do let me know, thanks!

 

[Max-Felix]

Pleased to say my friendly contact came up trumps - not only that, from a simple contour drawing I sent him he was able to get a heavy duty prototype dialled right in:

Apologies if you've already seen this or you wanted smaller/printable/cheaper brackets, but I have this aluminium bracket, which is very sturdy. Just screw on your own surface (or buy their ready made one). If you're in the UK, it might be worth buying a few extra small items to make the shipping worthwhile.
