For those of us without access to a 3D printer, would you be willing to print and sell these? This looks really slick and easy to use

For Member No. 944? Of course! Happy to print them, install screws, and send them out to any/all active Carpokean like yourself -- for shipping costs. :) PM me. For newcomers who need one printed, I'd point them to the Bezel Policy and apply the same basic approach just to make sure I'm printing for people who are supporting the cause. :) That policy was written for my interior bezels for the newer Porsches, but the same concept would apply to these tools. You can find that here::

If/when people start printing these, it would be great to see some pics and get some real world feedback!

Also, please spread the word about this tool. The more people who try it, the better we can make it over time. Here is a tinyurl if helpful--it links to this thread.... https://tinyurl.com/3D944timingtool

Well I’m not in the market for one of these but it looks pretty damned good to me, it’s so good I wish I could use one 😂

It looks pretty consistent and cannot imagine a ‘more accurate’ one being technically better considering the variables in belts and torque wrench calibrations 🤔

Tried to print it for you yesterday but my (lulzbot) printer has developed a little maintenance issue, so I'll be digging in and updating a few parts today, but should have it back in action in a day or two and will print this for you asap. :)
