Indicator / blinker button for Segway NineBot G2MAX e-bikes

The thing that this thing is based off is so flimsy! I accidentally dropped my e-bike and it broke off. So I started to look for replacement parts.

I know this thing can be found easily on Alliexpress on the cheap but my problem is it will take 2weeks to a month to ship to my location but that official parts' price on their website really got me angry.

i mean: 20 BUCKS FOR A PIECE OF PLASTIC??!!! REALLY?? HELL NAW!!! 😡⚡

I checked this website you are currently on and found another model that has a very big stem like mounting system that also required the usage of glue. Suffice it to say that it didn't quite work out for me So i decided to design my own from scatch.

Actually on scale but depending on the slicer you use you might have to multiply the size by 3937.01%. this is a blender stl export issue that I need to find out how to fix. I'm a bit of a newbie in the 3D printing community so i apologize for the inconvenience .

How I Designed This

Mesured the original part and opened blender to recreate it as best as i could.

Busted out my ruler and opened blender and made sure to recreate the object as best as I could. The concave bit is a bit mid but does the job. what really matters is the clickiness of the print and the fact that the object snaps into place just like the real deal.I had to reinforce the arms to make sure they wouldn't snap off with wear and tear. some testing 6 minutes or so and a couple of rides later this thing holds on and behaves just like the real thing so i consider it a win.
