Side View Mirror Spindle
2017 Chevrolet Volt
Description
This part is not supplied by Chevy. As a result, a mirror that has a broken spindle can now be fixed, rather than having to buy a new one ($150!). As with anything with your car, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. These parts are going to be exposed to a lot of elements in addition to a very powerful spring. USE EYE PROTECTION WHEN ASSEMBLING. I printed mine with PETG using supports, .15 layer res, 60% infill and 8 layer shell. It's important to use a durable material that can handle the elements. I recommend PETG or ABS.

Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
