Buying parts is cool, but 3D printing them is cooler! This is a test version of my 3D printed headlight shell for Tomos A35/A3. Printed in PLA, 0.2mm layer height, 0.4mm nozzle and 20% infill. Depending on the material, a coating may be required. I am using raw material without a coating because I am curious how well it could withstand different types of weather. With paint applied, it is protected against weather influences and it will last a long time. Thought it would be interesting to see if cheap 3D printed parts will work just as good as original parts.

Update one year later:
My moped has been outside for a year and still the headlight from PLA plastic looks like new. So for parts that doesn't take a lot of mechanical stresses, I'd say PLA works great!
