Boot Separator Catch
2009 Mercedes-benz Slk R171
Description
This is a replacement part for the infamous Mercedes SLK boot separator catch. The pivoting part is notorious for snapping and is not available to purchase from Mercedes. I made this for a 2009 model car. You would need to check suitability for other year models. I have printed, installed and tested the part. It works well, however I do not know what the long term durability will be. The file is for the left hand part, please mirror the file to produce the right hand part. Because of the shape, use rafts and supports. Takes a bit of cleaning up at the end, but worth it to fix an annoying problem.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
