so amazing… hello to you all!
I didn‘t know that to be honest… but now that I do I am really impressed.

...I guess there might be a few things that are new to the UK Forum (as well as the other way round). As far as I have read some of the threads by now it seems to me that most of the topics are quite similar (no wonder - it's all about the same type of vehicle...). But still I have discovered some must-haves like this visualize-dpf-regeneration-on-IC-Module from @Daku and the self-made front grille badges etc.
One thing that I haven't seen in the T6Forum yet is the self-made side badges with individual text like this I made this summer:

That looks great. I’ve taken the liberty of copying this post to the 3D printing thread so they’re all in one place...I guess there might be a few things that are new to the UK Forum (as well as the other way round).

Show us your 3D printed modifications
Just wondering if anyone has any STL files they would share for the T6. Cup holder mods, or a fascia plate for the overhead slot by the courtesy light maybe? Thanks in advance.
They look awesome, you could be onto a side hussle there!...I guess there might be a few things that are new to the UK Forum (as well as the other way round).

Yes Jan, people like side hustles, postage wouldn't be too bad from Germany, but you probably have a 'proper job' to keep you busy. I'm sure there would be folk on here interested in your wares?! I know I would!
Yes I do have a proper job but unfortunately it has nothing to do with cars and 3D printing 
I did a pair of badges for a fellow from the german forum, but only as a favour. He wanted a special Text with icelandic letters (I did not now anything about icelandic spelling before, for me it's still more something like a graphic). But technically spoken almost every word or graphic is possible to do.
I'm not much into spraypainting and finishing printed ruffians, but if one could do this by himself I could image to do one or the other pair of badges from time to time (of course as a hobby, not as a business)

Hi guys,
thanks for adding me!
I bought a T6 "70yrs Bulli edition" CXFA last year, love it and use it as Surfwagen.
No mods other than removing the 3cm thick isolation that covers the oil tank during the summer months to allow a faster cooling of the engine oil.
Currently looking into ways to upgrade to the newer EGR version CF.
Hoping to find some help here.
EGR is still working.
Cheers
Chris

As I've said before Im a big fan of these. Would you be interested in making some more to sell at all? if not would you mind sharing the file so I could print some for myself as would love a set please?One thing that I haven't seen in the T6Forum yet is the self-made side badges with individual text like this I made this summer:

If you give me some time (like two weeks or so) I can do a pair for you.
Do you have something special in mind? Or just the same "edition"-type badges like the ones I made for myself?
To be honest I don't really want to share the files... because I used the original VW-fonts for the "edition" signature and I am not quite sure if it might be a violation of copyrights or something alike... sorry... hope you understand.
Also please remember that there is a bit of work to do after printing (maybe you are more experienced than I am right now as I am still a beginner in the 3D-printing scene...).

Hi Jan, welcome to the Forum. Got any info on the new T7 from over there ?
Fair enough, I'm not either. Was asking for a friendI'm not that interested in the T7 yet, hoping that my T6 will be by my side for a long time…
Welcome, welcome

May I introduce myself:
I will have in about 2 month a T6.1 Caravelle with camping and electricity from SpaceCamper it is the light version with a big bed.
4x4 - no diff lock due to lack of availability
long wheel base
150 hp automatic gear
Tarp no awning
Planned:
Air suspension
AT Tires
I like to travel mostly southern Africa (about 20 times) and USA (about 20 times mostly western parts), but due the permanently rising taxes on travelling and high inflation of the EUR in Germany it is less and less possible.
Thus I bought the camper, for that I can travel in Europe under the hard green restrictions.
