Description
This is a climate control slider for generation 3 Acura Integras (1994-2001). There are two of these within the climate control unit. One for the fan control and the other for the temperature control. The temperature control slider incorporates a detent plunger, spring, and ball bearing. The ball bearing provides tactile feedback while moving it and the detent plunger engages at either end of the motion range. The fan control slider incorporates a spring and ball bearing, but the fan switch itself provided the position detents. An optical light guide provides a path for light to illuminate the knob. There is also a spring clip on the slider that appears to keep the slider from rattling.
This part is only the slider itself. The other components must be reused from the original slider being replaced.
This part is not identical to the original molded part. I designed this to be more robust, adding material where possible to improve its strength. It should be printed with 100% infill.
While I made this part using PETG, this was only for fit and operational testing at room temperature. Due to the temperature extremes in an automotive interior, a higher temperature range material should be used. While polycarbonate filaments are strong and will withstand high temperatures, it can be brittle at extremely cold temperatures. PA (nylon) filaments should provide better cold temperature performance. These high performance materials require annealing to achieve their full strength.
This was printed using Creality PETG filament with standard settings using my QIDI Tech Q1 Pro. I used organic/tree supports and printed the slider standing up with the detent end of the part against the build plate. This orientation is preferred in order for the ball bearing hole to be smooth. For strength, this part needs to have very good layer adhesion.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
