I actually have found that 3d printing things isn't the best method for holding water. Because it can leak thru tiny imperfections in the printed layers.. so what i did was completely seal the outside of my already installed catch cups with a high grade rtv sealant. So really now my catch cups are really doing nothing but holding the shape while i smear the goop over em and problem solved. Pain in the ass. But man mine has been great since. I did those other mods to the gutter trough ends on my other video and man problem free since. Whoever designed this was close to having it set up awesome, but close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades!! This was destined to fail bro. Water gets in!!! Duh!!
My cuzzy made mine. Anyone who 3d prints stuff can design and make them pretty easy. I will say this tho. 3d printing isn't the best for water proof stuff. So if you go that route, make sure to seal them nicely with caulk or something. One of mine (3d printed catch cup) needed to be waterproofed better because it leaked. Looong after i made the video.. i did some good sealing with some high quality caulk and it's been perfect ever since. And been thru MAJOR rain
Man i just watched the whole video and i can't remember how it comes off. It wasn't hard to get but i think it was glued possibly? I think i just carefully pryed it off and i think i remember there is a release spot that helps you get it unmated. ..watch the other vids for clues!
Yep i just checked other vid, there are 2 mating male tips that go into the aluminum track, so you pry downward to get it off. Hope this helps. This is a bad ass mod!... stupid rain leak got its ass kicked
Cup area measured in mm is 8.2 deep x 64 long on one side and 67 on other side x 15mm wide. Then it has a thin flanged surface its attached to for gluing it on the truck so you got nice surface to glue to. That dimension was 85mm long on one side and 78 on the other x 34 wide
@@TheCampbell45no prob man. This fixed my truck for good👍 . Use someone who knows what they're doing on a good 3d printer to make these. Tell them it's gotta hold water!!. Mine leaked in between layers so i had to seal them with caulk outside my catch cups. Important!! Report back if it works out! Watch my other videos for the other mods for waterproofing the gutter troughs. I think i put all the links in this videos description 👍
Thank you sir. Fixed my problem. Really sucks these 50k+ trucks have these problems
Ernesto. Glad to help. Fixed mine too.
Id love a set of 3d print catch cups. I am dealing with this now. Fun fun

Where can I get the file for the 3d printed cups. Or do you sell them? Awesome information!

How did you get that part off at the back of the tracks that you said you modified?

Are you the ufc fighter?
Do you have dimensions of the catch can?
I don't but the measurement wasn't super critical. Just gotta cover that little area with the moving partsthat the water ends up dripping down out of
