Hey,

I lost the locking ring that lockes the cable from the spoiler gear to the spolier motor and I was wondering has anyone 3D printed one?

Or if anone has some pictures/dimentions of one I could try and make one.



Cheers

I removed mine from the car and modeled it in SW, and after printing it out I'll post it on my grabcad acct. later today

Wow!!

Above and beyond and can’t wait to try it, but again thanks so much for your time doing this. I’m sure others will really appreciate your work.

Can’t wait to get my hands on the files.

thanks a million from Finland😀

Ok, so I posted the STL file to my Thingaverse acct, the drawing below is in inches.

Hey

Aweasome job and I printed one out today.

Next time I would not use support material and just print the part.



I will try and fit it this weekend, and again I cant thank you enough for this

Flip the part 180 degrees so that the flange is on the bed and it builds up from there...no support needed for this part


Edit: Looking again at your print , it looks like you printed flange down. If you have a kid in school, give the file to him/her and have them print it out at school in their STEM class. Kids are subject matter experts in 3D printing as I was when I was a kid but it was all about marbles back then......

Whilst it’s very nice to be able to put a 3D printer to good use surely a part like this could knocked up in 1/2 hour on a lathe.

Hey,

Actaully I had printed that way, but I turned of the plate adhesion then it looked a lot better



As you can see the left one looks a lot cleaner

Thanks again and saved me 8 Eur for rthe sake of around 0.02 Eur.

Hey,

No lathe anymore, but for 0.02 Eur and 5 mins for me its the easy option

But always good tro hear people comments and today or tmorrow I will try and installl it.

Cheers

After opening my transmission house to rebuild I was thinking how difficult it would be to make one that is actually serviciable?
Old part could be used as a donar.
The end point where the cable goes in/out is a bit of a weak point in my oppinion.
Maybe one day when this one gives up the ghost I will look in to it.




Anyhow big thanks

Wow! super-cool. And that makes me wonder
@Admin would it make sense to create a section just for files for 3D printed parts?
