Description
Print perpendicular to bed surface. This method ensures that the filament tensile strength gives the part its structure when in use, as opposed to the strength of the bonds between layers.
Infill over 50% tends to make the part too stiff and has seen cracking at 100% infill. Infill type should be any 3D-based pattern to ensure strength when printing perpendicular to bedplate. Tri-hexagon was used for test parts.
Tree supports and basic raft used.
PLA prototype part has performed well since part installation. In-vehicle temperatures between 55F and 85F with no visible deformation or weakness of part. PETG and ABS would, naturally, be preferred choices for full longevity.
Change Log:
Updated March 11th, 2022 - added stop bar fulcrum, doubled thickness of gussets at front and rear sides of lift. Added fillets, chamfers and edge breaks. Narrowed size of latch tooth opening to use as tunable part stiffness feature. Component is overall stronger.
Instruction Notes: For Rev. 07, adjustment may be required to the two sides of the hinge - in many cases, no adjustment is necessary, but due to tolerances of Chrysler manufacturing in 1997-2001, the latch may need to be positioned as far forward as possible by pulling on loosening the mounting screws to the hinge and lid, pulling them forward (upward) and retightening the screws. Future design will incorporate slotted mounting holes.

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