2002–2006 Cadillac Escalade Esv Rear High Brake Light

This model was designed in Blender, and it's my first creation using this software, so it may have some rough edges, but it's fully functional.

To mount the model onto the body, I used M4 Nuts heat pressed into the slotted locations using a soldering iron, along with M4x25 bolts.

During the testing phase, all prototypes were made using PLA+ and super glued together. Since I have an Ender 3 with limited print space, I had to divide the model into manageable pieces, which I accomplished using Slic3r.

For the final version installed on the car, I opted for ASA material. To ensure a seamless finish, I bonded all the parts with acetone and used vapor smoothing. However, I should note that I didn't have a container large enough for the entire item, so I improvised by wrapping towels soaked in acetone around the fully bonded model and smoothing it upon removal. Trust me, using a suitable container is the better option.

I only utilized the brake function, but the light bar I used has multiple functions and can be utilized as running lights, signals, or hazards if desired. Originally, I intended to use a longer LED light, but I couldn't find a suitable one, so I created the covers. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, they also hide the wires, making them a necessary addition.

Overall, the design and assembly process was a learning experience, and I'm pleased with the final result
