Honeycomb Intake & Turbo Guard

Honeycomb Intake & Turbo Guard

Keep debris out and airflow high with this sleek, 3D-printable honeycomb guard. Designed primarily for automotive intake pipes or turbo inlets, this guard provides a protective barrier against large particles while maintaining the aggressive "honeycomb" aesthetic that looks great in any engine bay or custom project.

Features

• Optimal Airflow: The hexagonal grid pattern maximizes surface area, ensuring minimal restriction to air intake.
• Heavy Duty Look: A deep-set honeycomb structure provides structural rigidity and a premium, engineered appearance.
• Versatile Fit: Designed as a circular insert that can be scaled in your slicer to fit various pipe diameters.
• Clean Printability: Optimized for 3D printing with no supports required for the main grid.

Recommended Print Settings

• Material: * PETG or ASA/ABS is highly recommended if used near an engine or in high-heat environments.
  • PLA is fine for aesthetic-only or cold-air applications.
• Wall Loops: 3-4 for maximum strength around the rim.
• Infill: Not applicable (the honeycomb is the geometry).
• Top/Bottom Layers: 3-4.

Assembly & Fitment

This model features a slim outer lip to help it seat securely into a pipe or coupler. Ensure you measure the inner diameter of your intake and scale the model accordingly for a snug friction fit or use a silicone coupler to clamp it in place.

Disclaimer: This is an aesthetic/debris guard. Use at your own risk in performance applications. Ensure the material used can withstand the operating temperatures of your specific engine bay.
