Merc SLK350 2006 starter connector housing

thingiverse

This is the housing for the cable that connects to the starter for Mercedes SLK350 2006 R171. The old one crumbled and I designed this to replace. Being right under the exhaust manifold it is exposed to lots of heat. ABS seems to be the choice, which I printed with. I can't exactly remember how I placed it, but probably the wide opening parts were down on the plate with supports from the slicer. When I recently checked it, after more than 1 year of usage, the side close to the manifold has lost shape, so even ABS isn't up to it, but I would print again and use it myself. So make your own judgement. Also I apparently used cable tie around the two pieces as they won't fit perfectly around the thick cables. Currently cable tie is the only thing holding them.
