A project from my new toy. My Daihatsu Delta truck mirror has ball and an arm to hold the passenger mirror, which is held in with a round keeper plate.
The original ones are thin injection moulded PP plastic and they crack and no longer hold the mirror still. The original and Asian copies all seem to have the same fault although the original ones seem to last longer.
The Fusion modelling took far longer than it should have and it was a learning experience, like getting the screw perpindicular to the flat bottom base, rather than the sloping top, with the counterbor on the top face.
Got there in the end, but it seemed to be a roundabout way of doing it.
Test print in PETG on the default Creality K1 max setttings.
How do i get a better finish on the sloping top? It is a shallow slope (around 2.2mm over 27mm)?
Would PETG stand up outside for this, perhaps if painted? I can increase the infill over default settings.
