FLynes Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 There’s a guy on eBay who sells the ones we need. He makes them, they’re labeled Left and Right. He posts a link redirecting you to his site from eBay and charges $23.00/pair, which is insane: https://www.shapeways.com/product/J3PQ6BCJV/left-right-weep-hole-covers?li=shareProduct&optionId=267954978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Ammons Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I would definitely be interested in purchasing some, most all of mine gone. I do not have access to 3D printing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve P Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I would pay about $5 individually for a few, or about $3.50-$4.00 in quantity of 20 or more, including shipping. On mine, the legs that latch into the outer edges of the two weep holes are 1.75 inches apart, and the legs are only 0.25 inches in length. The notch on the leg for hooking the cover is less than half that. I suspect the variances in the measurements from one motorhome to another may discourage manufacture and distribution of these... but I would really applaud anyone with the guts to try! In the meantime I think I will move the ones I have toward the front to try to diminish the noise nearer to the driver and passenger.. I just have to figure out how to remove them without breaking the legs off !!! Edited October 24, 2022 by Steve P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVerstra Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I've been making these on my son's 3d printer for my own use since last year. They are made with black nylon. I can make some for those of you without a 3d printer source. PM me with amount needed. I'm thinking of going to The Gathering with a bagful as party favors. :>) Edited October 24, 2022 by DVerstra added material used 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happycarz Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Fred, that was the guy I was working with. I sent him a new right and left to see what he could make. The samples he sent were too brittle, along with being rough. But, I had a go at it. Some things work out, others don’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr4Film Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I finally counted how many I would need of each side. I need 9 for the left side of the coach and 11 for the right side of the coach. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbircky Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Check your public library for 3d printing. I just found out mine has one that’s free to use, you just have to pay for materials. Now my questions: 1) is the download a “STL” file? 2) is the filament the type of plastic used? 3) is PLA suitable for this use? From the library “All filament is PLA. Choose from Orange, Purple, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Brown, Grey, Translucent, Black. Glow in the Dark (Green) and White.” Glow in the dark? Tempting lol 4) is 10 cents per gram a reasonable material fee? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhittle Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 STL is STereo Lithography, and is the 3D model that you run through a slicer program to generate the commands for your printer and the filament you are going to print. PLA is not really water or heat resistant. ABS or PETG or ASA would be better. I pay about $22/kilogram for filament, so if they are providing the printer to do the printing, that is pretty fair.

While waiting for replacement covers, I'm going to move a couple from the rear of the coach up to the passenger and Door window. Is it possible to remove an old one with damage? Any tricks to getting one out? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Hutto Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 All, I’ve gotten several messages requesting weep hole covers…. But I’ve been traveling on business and unable to respond to everyone. I am finally back home… I will try to respond to everyone’s requests this weekend… This weekend I will work on perfecting the print in ABS, and figuring out how many I can print at one time. Assuming I can perfect the print, my thinking is that I will print in batches (for example, 10 left, 10 right) and will send out in multiples of the batch size, just to keep it simple. I’ve got a lot of travel scheduled over the next two weeks, so it may take a while. After Nov. 15 I will be home for at least two weeks, and hope to be able to work on this a lot more during that time. Like I mentioned, please be patient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertpk Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I would like to say thank you for th stl file for the weep hole covers. Our motorhome only had 4 on the drivers window. I wound up making 30 for the left and rt side.This forum is a great place to get information about our coaches. Once again thanks to all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadTripper2084 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) My buddy printed me a couple in PLA as that is what he had handy. Do you think PLA will be strong enough? I'm going to test fit them on Sunday. Many thanks for posting the files! Edited October 28, 2022 by RoadTripper2084 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donflem Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I would like to ask whoever prints them to make me 10 for drivers side and 6 for passengers side. I would be happy to buy packages of 10. Thanks to whoever does this. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
