Mercedes Star Chicken Substitute

thingiverse

I ripped off the star of my E220 (built in 2009) by accident, so I decided to create a customized hood mount for this little chicken. To achieve a smoother fit, I rotated its body slightly, allowing it to sit nicely in the slipstream. To ensure stability, I split the chicken's body into two halves and printed each one more sturdily. For optimal results, I recommend printing 3 or 4 perimeters for each half. Once both parts are printed, you'll need to glue them together carefully. The finished product fits snugly in place and is held securely with a safety pin. Before attaching it, however, make sure to drill a hole through the base pole first.
