Anyone interested in some AP1 brake duct adapters?

They should be done in the next few days. The model is finished, printing both sides tomorrow (takes about 6 hours a side). Then I am just going to paint them and order the rest of my ducting.
I can make AP2 as well, I should be able to grab a template from a local. I just know AP2 guys have a couple more options they can buy from.
A set of these costs me like $10 to make.

Has anybody tried making (printing) those under the car brake ducts that mounted on the suspension links to direct air to the rotor? MotoIQ had them on his car, but didn't produce them back then because the cost was sky high before 3D printing.

I could probably make a set of these if a few people were interested.
I think the front bumper mounted ducts would be more effective though, especially with a splitter. That's a higher pressure area.
I would also be worried about ripping these off if you venture off track or on high curbs. They seem to hang much lower than my rear ducts.

Personally, I think the idea of mounting the brake ducting intake in a "high pressure" area is much ado about nothing. If you are driving 50-100mph, you are forcing a LOT of air into the ducts, probably more than they can pass I'd bet you. Most OEM don't seem to care about making sure they are in a high-pressure area. I mean, obviously they wouldn't be in a low-pressure area, but it seems as long as air is forced into the duct, driving at speed is enough air.

I've seen OEM parts, obviously, then this company: Honda S2000 Air Guide Kit - Honed
Hey, these look pretty cool. Simple and easy. At speed, you probably don't need a tube, just something to redirect the air.
This looks pretty cool, cause all the other solutions for the S2k are such f-ing hassles. Right?

The biggest hassle is cutting the dust shields, which you'll have to do no matter the route you go. Or remove them altogether.
OEM designs tend to take whatever the cheapest option is, not the most effective. I wouldn't be comfortable putting plastic that close to the brakes either. This design also has clearance issues. Too many what ifs for me that doesn't warranty reinventing the wheel.
I dropped 150 degrees with my ducts this past weekend and didn't get an ounce of brake fade. Full lock and I don't rub, and never have to worry about them coming off.

I ended up getting around to printing your original STL that I stretched the tube end on by 10mm. I printed two in PLA and one unmodified version in ABS, as the mirrored ABS one I tried warped and I noticed you said you were using PLA. You haven't had any issues with them getting soft with PLA?
