Description
This part replaces the original bracket. I've 3D printed this in PLA+ and have been able to use it for a number of weeks on a Honda Element without issues. However, I strongly recommend NylonX or Carbon Filled Nylon for a more durable part.
Print orientation should be so that the flat surface touches the build plate. This model should be printed with 100% infill and / or with as many perimeters to get all perimeters to touch each other (15 or 20 for example). 0.3mm layer height is acceptable. Supports are necessary for the fairly deep overhangs. A fairly strong and heat resistant material is highly recommended, such as nylon x, PETG, PCTG, polycarbonate, or other carbon fiber filled filament. The model is designed to take a pair of captive 8mm M5 nuts which allow bolting the armrest circular plastic part (with the release button) onto this. Do not overtighten the two M5 screws during install.

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.
