Fix for broken Toyota Highlander Knob

thingiverse

Recently, my Toyota Highlander Hybrid's climate control knob broke off due to a flimsy attachment point. Another friend experienced the same issue. Toyota quoted a hefty fee for replacement, which I found unreasonable. Instead of giving up, I decided to create a solution using my 3D printer. I printed a part that fits between the knob and the attachment point, fixing the problem without any glue. The piece was made with 5% infill and a layer height of 0.20 mm on my Replicator 2. Installation is easy; simply push the part into the knob and slide it onto the plastic attachment point on the Highlander.
