Harbor Freight Slimbar Flashlight Fixer

thingiverse

I needed something to keep my Harbor Freight flashlight from breaking completely. I see this is a very common problem with these. I don't know what plastic they use to make the part that breaks but it is weak. I never abused this light and it sat most of the time but I finally get to use it and found it cracked. I glued it with plastic cement but that didn't hold at all. I wrapped a small hose clamp around it and screwed it tight and that works but its an ugly fix. So I made this part in Fusion 360. I couldn't get the printer (Ender 3) to print the part the size that I built it in F360 so I had to draw it up oversized to fit properly. It is intended to fit very tight and jam onto the broken piece on the flashlight. Let me know if you have issues printing it.
