Description

*** Updated and reuploaded as updates meant the first model was unusably small. V2 model should work now!***
Dipstick handle to replace the ever-broken handle on your Miata, MX5 or Eunos! I didn't like any of the other STL offerings online, so I designed this one instead! I have also included a sliced Cura profile I used for my final model in ABS if you'd like to save yourself some time and fire it straight into the printer!
If you found this useful, please donate what you think it is worth to my paypal.me, at https://paypal.me/danobriendesigns?locale.x=en_US to help cover the time of design.
Thanks, and Enjoy! Please feel free to ask any questions, or let me know if you have issues, I'm happy to help!
Updated 11/5/20 - On specific slicer settings, the printer sometimes had trouble printing the overhang, even with supports. That said, the file printed multiple times for me with no issues. Regardless, I made some tiny adjustments and that issue has been ironed out. Let me know if you have any issues!

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.
