Description
On my Car the armrest hinges were broken for years, and it annoyed me, until I bought a 3D printer and started making new ones.
One of my friends has the same problem on his car.
Our cars are the Audi A4 B5 Chassis, my 1996 YoM and his 2000. Car chassis are the same, so I thought the hinges were the same to, but they were not. So I made them special, one for him, one for me.
As shown in the pictures (The pics are from my car - YoM 1996), broken hinges should be cuted off straight with the base, and drill a 3.2mm hole in the center, for the screw.
From the bottom place a 1.5mm plate, at the top place hinges and tighten with screws
Two screws M3 x 20 and one M3 x 10 with M3 nuts are required

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.
