headlamp lens for BMW vehicles 1/11

thingiverse

The original headlamp lens is a vibrant orange, matching the hue of indicator lenses and tail light lenses. To create an accurate 3D model, I carefully measured the original lens using vernier calipers and took note of its subtle curves. The design process was relatively straightforward, as I simply mirrored the measurements to create the 3D model.

Thicker layers produce better results, but with my .4 mm nozzle, 0.25mm layers are about as thick as it will get without causing smudges.
