Description

Originally drawn up in FreeCAD, this item is a replica of the small arm that connects between the Recirculation Actuator on standard manual AND auto climate control models, and the 2 x sheathed cables that lead to the individual recirculation flaps. The was copied specifically from an Australian 2007 Ford Fiesta XR4 - known as the ST150 in other markets - but is common to the heater box in all Mk6 Fiestas and Fusions. This won't work for Indian Figo or other Mk6 based heater boxes as they use a slightly upgraded mechanism that requires only a single sheathed cable.

I printed in PLA with the actuator key side up, and used tree supports touching everywhere - in order to get a little bit of extra support for the smaller side of the lever that's a bit complicated for taking the cable end. I just clear the support away with a knife and a drill at the end of printing.

Probably best with 100% infill for maximum strength, but I did mine at 50% infill and it seems strong enough in testing. I'd suggest printing in PETG or ASA if your car is in a summer climate, like us, as in car temps can exceed the temp that PLA is stable.

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.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$28.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$29.00General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$32.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$31.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$37.50Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$37.50Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$42.50Filled 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.
