Volkswagen broken car remote hack

myminifactory

A handy 3D-printable clamp designed to solve a common problem with Volkswagen cars - fixing broken car key remote enclosures. The snap-fit cantilever beam holding the two enclosure halves often breaks when the remote is dropped, leaving owners with an expensive repair bill. To avoid this issue, a non-intrusive design that holds the two halves together without compromising battery replacement is ideal. This 3D-printable clamp acts as a spring lever to securely fasten both enclosure halves in place. Simply drill a small notch on the metal key half of the enclosure and you're good to go!

Even though this design is specific to Volkswagen car owners, it showcases the potential of 3D printing to save money and extend the lifespan of defective products.
