2008 Ram 1500 Steering Column Tilt Lever Handle

thingiverse

This is a replacement handle for the steering tilt-column lever on my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. The OEM handle broke. I super glued it and it lasted a few months before breaking again along the same fractured joint. So, I decided to copy it (as close as I could) and make a new one on my 3D printer. It consists of two pieces for a simpler print with minimal supports/constructions. The two pieces mate together in an indexed manner so there is only one correct mating configuration. I super glued the two components together simply to combine into one part but the glued connection is not really a structural property/feature but really to simplify the installation. There is one factory screw that will pass through both components and when properly tightened will clamp the connection/joint together while binding it to the tilt mechanism. I published it here to share and hope it proves to be useful to others.
