does bigger help with buffeting? I dont recall buffeting on some metal ones I made back in 2021, but my car is pretty loud, so I can't be sure I just couldnt notice it anymore
After a week of printing (14 total build plates!) I have my first prototype. Going to try and test fit tomorrow.
At the same time, I've been prepping a plug of my center console as well as a my rear seat shelf replacement.

Okay - officially going to print my first test pieces and see how this looks. there's some edges, etc. that will need to be feathered in, but I plan to do that with Bondo/etc.
