Description
Most E30s have tweeter wiring already fitted, the wires run from behind the door card into the footwell behind the main speakers.
3D printed using black ABS. I have found them very difficult to print as they warp a lot. May work with PLA but PLA can melt in a car on a hot day.
Doesn't have pins on the back for mounting like the original trim. Can be mounted either by snapping the pins off the old trim and gluing them to the printed part or by gluing the printed part directly to the door.
42mm hole is good for Alpine DDT-S30 speakers
34mm hole is good for Ground Zero GZHT 19x speakers
You will need to measure your tweeters and pick an appropriate .stl file, the measurement in the file name is the inside diameter of the hole for the tweeter.
I have also uploaded .step files for each part and a solidworks file so feel free to make changes if you need to.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
