Fix For 02 Chevy Silverado Headrest

thingiverse

So My headrest kept moving to the farthest position and it was driving me nuts. Took it apart and found these plastic pieces had degraded and broken over time. These are the new ones I've made to replace them. They worked like a charm. Back to having a functioning headrest. Should work in any older model silverado, mine is a 02 chevy silverado 2500hd with the 3 position headrest. I threw in two old pictures so you can reassemble in case you forgot where parts go, like I often do. I printed these at 100% infill - .2 height - zigzag pattern - with supports If you use PLA, make sure to anneal it. UPDATE: Okay so, they haven't been lasting long. I've tried annealing the material, and other things, but between the pressure of the spring and the heat on the inside of the vehicle during the day, I've continuously suffered failure with the material. After around two days max they bend and warp to the point of not being able to be used. At this point, I've moved to reconstruct the old factory ones to make them work. If ya'll have any ideas on making this work out, let me know. I have a new design under testing, its held for a week now in 160-180 degree. A few more days and Ill post the repair. As always, tips are greatly appreciated!
