Done! I’ll send a PM when it’s your turn on the printer.

In your quest to make a million dollars (I hope its more), I think you ought to ditch the 3D printer and start having them injection molded in quantity. Follow through with your patent if you haven't done so already. Start reaching out to automotive accessory distributors and making them commercially available.

'Best with your endeavor.

Making a million dollars is the easy part… making it with expensive model specific plastic funnels is the hard part I appreciate the well wishes though!

Helping out fellow enthusiasts and making great connections is definitely the goal of this endeavor. Making a few dollars is secondary. That being said, I have talked to Matco, and there is some interest, but I highly doubt I’d sell the idea unless the number was stupid high.

Unfortunately at this point the amount of orders don’t justify the tooling expense for injection molding (which I’ve looked into.) In reality I’d need to make 500+ to make it worthwhile. Likewise, buying a 3D printer more oriented towards production doesn’t really make sense either based on current orders and cost.

Maybe I’ll change my mind in a month or two

On a completely unrelated topic… I’m now adding names to the queue for investors in screw-n-lube LLC!

Screw-n-lube. Sounds like a great marketing plan. Could use it on several fronts. LOL

Got mine today, it’s awesome! Now I need to find an oil filter so I can change my oil!

What is the current price shipped?

What is the current price shipped?

$78.50 for the oil funnel and oil filter guide.
$93.50 for both pieces plus caps for the funnel.

Does this work with the normal oil filter access cover or do you need to remove the belly pan?

Technically you don’t need to remove anything, although removing the driver side tire certainly makes things easier. Also you can remove the trap door to check the fit if you’d like. Here’s a picture of the device installed when viewed from the driver side wheel well. Here’s a video of the V1 in use. Eventually I’ll make a little bit better video, but in the meantime this will give you a good idea of how it works.

Did you ever get your driveway squared away Earl?

Did you ever get your driveway squared away Earl?

No, it turned out to be a combination of the gutter and a hump on the road at my driveway entrance that was caused by 60 years of repairing and repaving the street, I drop into a ditch before I climb up the driveway ramp. The only way it will get fixed is when they do the next repave, I will try to have them remove the hump that shouldn't be there. That should solve the problem.

This car has a lot more clearance than my 2020 has, I also had problems with my 2013 until I replaced the front tires with a 275/40ZR19. That is the reason I never installed the lower splitter or lowered the 2013.
