Pickup Liftgate bumpers

thingiverse

I needed new bumpers for my truck's liftgate, but didn't want to spend nearly $40 on a set identical to the ones that had already come off. So, I designed some rounded ones, then decided I wanted them to have a more even flat surface for added support. Sometimes, when picking up full drums from a shop with nice sealed concrete floors, I don't want to damage the floor's sealant with a bare metal gate scratching its surface. A 1.5" outer diameter fender washer fits snugly inside one of these bumpers. The bumper's thickness behind the washer is 4mm thick, so it's not flimsy at all. The outer diameter of each bumper is 70mm, which converts to approximately 2.755897 inches. Bumper height measures 16mm, or roughly 5/8 inch, and about as tall as a nickel. I am including both designs in this post, but the second version, V2, are the ones I ended up printing and installing on my truck's liftgate.
