Description

I designed this plastic insert to fix the problem with door locking on w123
(door is not locked after slam).

New insert guides door lock lever to rotate in lock position, to last it long highly reccomend to print it from high quality ABS (ABS-X) or another durable plastics.

I printed it with 0.6mm nozzle and 0.25 layer height and in 100% scale.

IMPORTANT, this insert should be printed lying on the side (lying plastics along the part will make it much stronger in our case.)
