Description
A replacement for the plastic TDC access hole plug used across many BMW engines. This plugs the hole used to lock the flywheel at top dead center during timing-related jobs. The plug in my M42 broke in half while trying to remove it.
The standard print has 3 pieces, scaled to 99%, 100% and 101%. I'd recommend printing this plate and trying all three. A second plate at 100% is also available, you can scale this to a custom size if the first print doesn't fit. 100% scale is a nice snug fit for me. Prints at a 45° for strength, brim is a must. Very strong in ASA. PETG should also work well with its stronger layer adhesion, if you trust it to hold up to the temperatures.
It looks like BMW used this from 1985 all the way through 2016. BMW part numbers #11111714541, #11111287543.
