Audi A7/6 rear power compartment repair

prusaprinters

<p>Needed to repair my rear seat power compartment that just stayed open. The previous car owner's grandson apparently kicked it and broke it. I pulled it apart and found the broken part. (The stringiness on the original part is because I was trying to heat up the metal pin instead to remove it, but couldn't make that work)</p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/u6FRmZztpEE"></oembed> </figure> </p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Robo 3D</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>R1 ABS + PLA Model</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.14mm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>80%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Supports are crucial here, given the way this part was designed.

A used a safety pin, heating it up with a small torch and then pushed it in. The pictures show the result, given that I didn't have it very well secured... A small jig would have made it more stable and better result, but this ended up working just fine. The metal needs to go up to the top of the tip of the plastic to the bottom.rn</p></div></p></p></p> Category: Automotive
