55338-EG00A Strut Mount Seal

cults3d

This is a custom Strut Mount Seal designed to replace the OEM part on a 2008 Infiniti G35x (part number 55338-EG00A), but may also fit other Infiniti/Nissan models. It requires a durable material like TPU for resistance to oil, grease and abrasion (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). Proceed with caution. Printing this seal using TPU should cost less than $0.15 in materials and take about 30 minutes compared to the OEM replacement at $30+. I successfully used Priline TPU (Shore hardness 98A) which has delivered excellent results for me (Amazon Link). The OEM seal is 0.4mm thick, while this custom version is 0.6mm thick, resulting in three layers when printed with a 0.2mm layer thickness. Adjust the Z-axis scaling if desired, ensuring sufficient bottom/top layers to create a solid print. Note that the pictured test fit seal differs slightly from the finalized STL model.
