Frozen Window Ice Breaker

prusaprinters

How many times have you pulled up to a drive through only to find your window was frozen shut? In the past there was only two ways to deal with the situation. One was to park somewhere warm until the window warmed up enough to open. The other was to attempt to force it open risking serious damage to the crank or window motor assembly. Either way was time consuming and possibly quite costly.Now there is another way, the Window Wedge. This simple tool is inserted between the window glass and the door trim to break the ice bond that eventually causes your window to stick. Once inserted you simply slide the wedge all around the trim until the window is free. For those really stuck windows, the wedge also allows de-icers  to get inside the door to melt the ice that forms along the bottom of the trim. A simple spray bottle of methyl-hydrate works wonders for this or you can use the more expensive spray on de-icers. Using WD-40 will cause the window trim to swell and it will leave long lasting streaks so try to avoid it if you can. Some windows with a tight fit may require printing at 75% scale but most will be fine at 100%It can even be used as a traditional scraper if printed with the appropriate materials.Its just that simple!If you found this design useful please like and post a make.Thank you.
