Honda Brake or Clutch Pedal Stopper Pad (Civic Accord CRX Prelude)

thingiverse

If your Honda vehicle brake lights won't turn off, and there are some weird broken plastic pieces laying on your floorboard near your pedals, then this is probably what you need. I hope this helps someone out. This part should fit a wide number of model years of Honda vehicles and should be a direct replacement for Honda part 46505-SA5-000 and the Dorman 74015 (only the white replacement part that is included in that Dorman kit). Based on the original from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:924433 I really appreciate MS3FGX for getting me started on my own attempt. Instead of using OpenSCAD, I used Autodesk 123D since I'm familiar with it (I'm still relatively new to 3D printing and haven't gotten my feet wet with OpenSCAD yet). I unfortunately had a rough time inserting MS3FGX's part after printing and had to use a file around the widest part of the 'cone' diameter several times before I could forcefully insert it into the hole in the pedal arm (maybe just the result of my 3D printer's tolerances). I also took the small edge of a flat jewelers file and filed a small indentation around the base of the shaft (similar to the original part) which I'm confident will help keep it from falling out over the long haul. This version has the indentation included. My hope is that this part is virtually an exact duplicate of the original OEM part that was in my 1994 Honda. I'll just admit right now that I never printed it since I had already modified MS3FGX's part to fit my car. I'm just posting this version as an afterthought to help out anyone else who wants one a little closer to the original OEM part that came with their vehicle. I used the 3 broken pieces laying on my floorboard to take these measurements from (see my measurements in the included image). The center shaft was not broken, so I was able to get good measurements from it with calipers. The 'head' was in two pieces, but I was also able to get good measurements from those pieces as well. Anyone printing this may want to take into account the tolerances inherent with their 3D printer to ensure the part doesn't get much bigger. It may make it difficult to insert into the pedal arm and may require some slight sanding/filing to correct. As MS3FGX mentioned in his original comments, you'll want to ensure the infill is sufficient to lend the part enough strength to hold up under pedal punishment (=> 30% ?). What I did was use my slicer (Cura) to increase the 'bottom layer thickness' until there was no infill whatsoever in the head of the part which is what gets sandwiched between the switch and the brake pedal arm.
