This is my first post on the forum so I thought I'd introduce myself and show everyone something that I recently designed and 3D printed for a friend with an '05 GT.
A little about me... I started tracking a GT350 around 2020 and was frustrated with the messy oil change procedure after each track weekend. That led me to design and print an oil filter guide in order to remove the filter without making a giant mess all over the belly pan. While I was at it I designed a twist-to-lock oil funnel with a large aperture so I wouldn't need to hold a funnel while pouring 10 quarts of oil into the car. Fast forward a few years and I now have a fun little side business where I design and 3D print car specific oil funnels. Unfortunately I blew my engine on track in 2023, which ford replaced under warranty. I immediately sold the car and turned my sights to my dream car.... a Ford GT. Unfortunately, a GT isn't in the cards for me at the moment so I decided to build a Superlite GTR. While building my car and sourcing parts, I've come into contact and made friends with several members of the GT community. As a gift, I decided to make a custom funnel for a friend of mine who owns an ‘05 GT. After several prototypes, we finally have a winner!
The funnel has a Tupperware style lid for the top and a twistable cap for the bottom. The caps keep oil in, dust out, and lets the funnel stand up straight during storage. I figured you guys would appreciate this little invention
