Hvac Recirculation Actuator Lever Arm
2007-2008 Ford Fiesta MK6 (XR4)
Description
Originally drawn up in FreeCAD, this item is a replica of the small arm that connects between the Recirculation Actuator on standard manual AND auto climate control models, and the 2 x sheathed cables that lead to the individual recirculation flaps. The was copied specifically from an Australian 2007 Ford Fiesta XR4 - known as the ST150 in other markets - but is common to the heater box in all Mk6 Fiestas and Fusions. This won't work for Indian Figo or other Mk6 based heater boxes as they use a slightly upgraded mechanism that requires only a single sheathed cable. I printed in PLA with the actuator key side up, and used tree supports touching everywhere - in order to get a little bit of extra support for the smaller side of the lever that's a bit complicated for taking the cable end. I just clear the support away with a knife and a drill at the end of printing. Probably best with 100% infill for maximum strength, but I did mine at 50% infill and it seems strong enough in testing. I'd suggest printing in PETG or ASA if your car is in a summer climate, like us, as in car temps can exceed the temp that PLA is stable.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
