Big Bobby Quad Spare Part Handlebar

thingiverse

Since there wasn't a replacement part available locally, I had to come up with a solution to get my son's Bobbycar Quad back on the road. The custom design fits pretty well overall, but might require some manual adjustments to accommodate the specific nut being used. To ensure that the top screw fit perfectly into its cross-hole home, I heated it first before carefully screwing it into the PLA material. Unfortunately, the initial print with 60% infill failed quickly at the point of intersection. It's possible that PLA isn't the ideal choice for this particular application - further testing will be necessary to confirm this suspicion.
