Saved $75 on a door handle replacement!

my passenger door handle snapped off (plastic garbage from the factory). Dealer wanted $75 for a new one. Fond a model here, printed it in black PETG, took 3 hours. Cost me maybe $2 in filament. Fits perfect and feels more solid than the original! This is why I love 3D printing lol

You'll want to use PETG with at least 0.2mm layer height. Works way better than PLA for car parts.

Good idea

Try printing at 245C with 70mm/s. That's my sweet spot for PETG.

This is awsome! Gonna try it this weekend
