Description
This is a reverse-engineered quick release bow knuckle for a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with a Bestop Supertop. It is designed to be a direct fit replacement using the original metal hardware from the knuckle (push-pin, circlip, spring, knob, and mounting screw). I recommend printing this out of ABS, ASA, or any filament that is tough enough to handle heat, humidity, and UV without warping or failing. I also recommend printing with 5+ walls and infill higher than 25% with the model laying on its side for best layer orientation. Some supports will be needed, with tree-style being the recommended option here.
As with my other models, I am still quite new to 3d modelling and appreciate any feedback!
