Description

This is a replacement headlight switch I modelled for a friend's 2002 F-150, and also fit another friend's F-350. Both have said it works well, however I'm sure some refinements could be made.

According to the parts database cross reference, it should fit the vehicles listed below:

FORD EXPEDITION (1997 - 2002)
FORD F-150 (1997 - 2003)
FORD F-150 HERITAGE 2004
FORD F-250 2004
FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY (2001 - 2004)
FORD F-350 2004
FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY (2001 - 2004)
FORD F-450 SUPER DUTY 2004
FORD F-550 SUPER DUTY 2004
FORD F53 (2006 - 2009)
LINCOLN BLACKWOOD 2002

Print instructions

I used ABS scaled to 102% in order to be accurate to acceptable tolerance. Your machine may vary.

The following settings produced a nice result and relativelty short build time.
No support or raft needed.
50% infill
.30mm layer height

Settings from the source; not independently tested by Orphaned Parts.

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$21.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$21.50General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$23.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$22.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$26.00Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$26.00Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$28.00Filled 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.
