A (mostly) organised list of links to 3D print files for useful Mk1 parts (i.e. no toys, models, keyrings, etc).
Links are to a variety of 3D print file websites. Some files are free, some are not.
Please note, I cannot vouch for the quality or completeness of any of the prints or files. You might also get different results depending on the types of printer and filament you use. Most of the file pages have suggestions on what settings and material get the best results.
I want to give a special shout out to Thingiverse user ldboehm who has created a lot of these 3D print files. Checkout his profile page - he has a lot more files, including many parts for Sciroccos.
