Royal Enfield Bullet 500ES 2004 replacement tail light cover

I broke the tail light cover of my motorcycle, and couldn't find a replacement.

So I designed one myself, and printed it from red Taulman t-glase PETT. I used 0.30mm layers. Regular transparent PETG works as well, but the Taulman results in a “harder” feeling part.

I first replicated the original, which was sphere-like. This turned out not only to be a pain to print (and required some really nasty support removal), but also due to the way the layers were built up transparency wasn't the best.

I instead made the new flat version I posted here. I actually think it looks quite nice, matching the look of the flatter toolboxes the Bullets used to come equipped with in the '50s.

To avoid supports I printed some spacers in PLA to be inserted during printing. Unfortunately my original design turned out too big, so I instead filled the holes with some blutack instead (that's the blue stuff you see in the printing photo). The files uploaded here should fit better if you decide to use them. The 3mf project file has the pause added to the right layer to insert these (or some blutack…)

One big warning concerning finishing the cover: I sanded and polished mine, which resulted in an extremely smooth surface, but unfortunately this also produced a white cloudy sheen. I got rid of this by rubbing some petroleum jelly on it, but if I were to print it again I would probably just leave it as it comes of the printer.
