3D PARTS/DIY · THE BUILD LAB
The parts ecosystem starts before the truck does.
Slate has already published printable files, and the truck is designed around more than 100 attach points. This page tracks what exists, what has been announced, and what makers can build next.

What matters in a real print
- Printer and build volume
- Nozzle size, layer height, material, and settings
- Post-processing and hardware
- Proof-of-print photos
- Fitment status on an actual truck
Slate has published a 0.2 mm nozzle recommendation for Slatelets. Other parts need their own material and heat-resistance decisions.

MAKERS, DESIGNERS, AND PRINT SERVICES
Submit a Slate concept for review.
Have a model, print profile, remix, or physical part designed around the Slate? Send it to SlateRides for editorial review and future repository consideration.
We are preparing a directory for free downloads and paid files, with creator credit, license terms, print settings, proof-of-print photos, fitment status, and commercial-use notes.
Include your maker name, model files or link, license terms, printer and material settings, proof-of-print photos, and whether a production Slate has been used for fitment.
We do not accept unlicensed reuploads or claim ownership of your work. Submission is not acceptance or a promise of placement.
