If anyone can measure and publish the dimensions of the bushings (or mail me their old OEMs), I'll happily make a design for printing 95A TPU bushings in a Bambu Labs X1C. The print quality of the FJ and Bolt Saver parts is pretty funny to me.
There is zero need to spend so much for these kits that aren't Poly. I have a fantastic quality print profile for TPUs. |

I had the FJ kit installed today. Everything feels good so far.
I'll update if anything changes. |

![]() But thanks for trying to squash the open source community development of common solutions. Basically, if you have access to a X1C and a TPU filament spool, I'll provide everything you need. I guarantee that I won't model it inside a slicer and have the tessellation show up on the end part either. ![]() |

If you truly knew how many revisions it has already gone through, you might be approaching this subject from a slightly different angle. By all means, since you apparently have the knowledge & capability that most of us don't in your mind & are showcasing us, lets see what you can build & tout next in the expanding world of versatile bushings. I wasn't trying to brag or downplay anyone's new offerings like you said. False accusations are something I don't lightly. So you may want to go back & reread your response. Since you're the new 3D printing expert, lets see what you first version looks like. Looking forward to seeing how easy it is & how well it fits. ![]()

Zero NVH. I had a very trusted shop do mine, so I haven't had any issues... some people said as soon as they dropped the diff they had clunking and had to do the loctite fix... I've had zero clunks. If they hadn't told me they did it I would have no idea. I also did the KW V3s and the Dinan Monoballs at the same time, so I wouldn't know if there was any difference in the driveline feel from just that kit, but the car is incredibly tight now. |

I drove my X3MC a bit last week. Playing with alignment settings. Learning how the drive modes and DriveLogic levels play together. (Frankly there are times when I want the car to accelerate and it doesn't have the responsiveness I expect - but it's probably user error. I will leave that for a different thread.)
My impression of the Rennfix doughnut + Belmetric hardware remains positive. In other words: no added NVH. Much like M4Lou described in post #467:
TacosRule! and Bee Pee, have you had a chance to install the Jnat combo yet? Eager to hear your observations. Keywords: Jnat combo (post #367) Rennfix doughnut + Belmetric hardware |

I did it myself so i'm not sure, good question though... I would say it took me 1.5 hrs, def. under 2.0 so that's a range for you. Note that there won't be a book time on this because it's not a "factory" type repair. The bolt will have a time but the bushing which is a little more labor won't.

Well, they just went ahead and installed it lol. I left them no instructions, and I think they charged me an hour of labor? This is Silicon Valley Beamers who does all my cars, and they're professionals. Dennis said the install was a bitch, so don't be surprised if they charge you more lol. |

If they changed the rear factory bushing (meaning the whole bushing) also i don't think you did, i wasn't aware you changed the bushing which has to be pressed out and is a PITA. If that's the case i don't think you got hosed.

That's still too much. Simply lower the exhaust, put the car in neutral, remove the two side bushings, then gain access to the main unit. Putting in a new bolt + Clint's doughnut should NOT cost that much. A shop more familiar with modern day BMW's can do this with much more ease creating a lower labor bill.

This was done by a BMW specialist in Portland, Oregon. This workshop may not be the cheapest, but I trust the work is done properly.
