Description
The gas spring on the hood of my car gave out due to the cold weather (and it's old) and guillotined my work lamp shattering the lightbulb and cage. Perfect opportunity for a printed replacement. The print is designed to fit a handle with a 0.6875" collar - models are provided so you can fit it to what you need.
The print profile is set up for the "Back" tabs to accept heat set inserts - there are additional walls to keep the inserts from slipping out.
BOM:
4ea - M4x8mm screw (cage)
2ea - M4x10mm screw (collar)
6ea - M4 Threaded heat set inserts
