Fuel Door Lock Pin
1990-1999 Bmw 3 Series E36
Description
Designed a fuel door lock pin to fit over the OEM actuator. These often break before the actuator fails, and are not sold separately from BMW (aka buying a whole new actuator+pin). This makes replacement easy. I recommend printed horizontally. I tested both orientations and due to layer adhesion of my print, it prematurely failed. The Horizontal piece is currently installed and working as intended. This was my first print I designed, feedback is welcomed.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
