I'm working on my first 3D printed mod and chose to design something to replace the stock intake snorkels that sit behind the bumper cover.
This is somewhat of a hybrid between the Velossa Tech Big Mouth and the JT intake cutouts. I didn't like the fact that you had to remove the entire radiator shroud with the VT, but the simplicity of the design was appealing. The JT intake requires you to cut ports into the shroud rather than remove it, but its only available as part of their kit.
So...I started prototyping models and while I haven't quite reached a final design that I'm happy with I thought that I was far enough along to share. All of the prototypes were printed using a large extruder with low resolution in order to speed up the design cycles. The final print will be much higher res and so should be much smoother.
Version 3 (still working on the overall size and fitment up to the shroud)
Left - version 5/Right - version 4 (Fit is getting better, but still not quite right)
This is a close-up of the left side. You can see the air channels directly into the airbox here.

). I'll also consider sharing some version of the STL for those that want to print it themselves. Anyone know if I need to be an authorized vendor? Not sure if I'd this would be considered a "commercial posting".
