I designed a VW logo to go into the load lashing points. I will try dig the files out at some point and some pictures.
I could do with 8 don't mind paying something , over £50 from van X seems bit steep

Sorry I should have read the whole thread before asking...

Sorry, not doing these any more.
There may be someone else with a printer who can help out.

Firstly thanks to the original designer of these.
I sent the file to a friend to print, he couldn’t help himself and redesigned them and added a texture to the top to match the surround and make them look as oem as possible. Turned out great, if anyone would like the file let me know and I can share it here.

Very nice!
Maybe you could upload the srt file into this thread like Surfbus1 did originally?
@chris3125 do you think your friend would be prepared to make a set to sell? If so, I'd be most interested, and I'd would also make a contribution to @Surfbus1 for the effort he initially expended and shared?
I bought the van-x covers, but they're useless.
The clips are very poor and all four I had in place ended up with snapped clips due to the design of these covers sitting on top for the bracket.
You undoubtedly end up stepping on them at some point due to them being a cover versus an insert and the slightest pressure in any direction causes the holding clip to snap.
I own one set of four that all clips are snapped and a second set that I didn't put in after removing the other seat... Money well spent.

I have downloaded the file and tried to get a few online quotes. surfacescan.co.uk seem pretty reasonable on price but their online system is asking me question I don't know the answer to and any advice would be very welcome. FDM or SLA? Infill rate?
Cheers
FDM and SLA are the type of 3D print method.
FDM (Fused deposition modeling) is the most common method, especially with home users. It's essentially the type you see where a heated nozzle is deploying molten filament onto a print bed.
SLA (stereolithography) is the more involved version of 3D print where a bed flooded with resin is cured via laser.
Infill rate is essentially how solid you require the part (I often prototype a design in 20% or less infill in order to save time and filament).
The greater the Infill, the longer the print will take, more filament will be used but it will be more robust than a lesser infill (depending on the part design, filament type and print orientation).

Fantastic, thanks Foggy.
Do you think FDM with 100% infill will be sufficient for these?
Cheers
Yes, FDM print will be fine and 100% infill will help ensure the new designs clips are strong enough (the new design has less material around the clips).
@foggy3061 did you get a price for these? Was there a set-up cost? If so, happy to share the cost I’d be after 8 or 12
