Datsun window crank cover

thingiverse

This is a cover for a window crank on a Datsun 1800. It's possible that this same window crank is used on older models like the 510 and 240z. If you know which Datsuns share the same window crank, please leave a comment below. It's printed with black TPU plastic. I initially tried printing it with PLA, but the "clips" were very brittle and broke easily. Based on my experience, I recommend using TPU instead, as it will also perform better in high temperatures inside a car. In the photos you can see two different prints. One is printed directly onto glass, giving it a smooth glass finish. The other picture shows the print with a carbon fiber-look vinyl covering the build plate.
