Mitsubishi Lancer Heater Control Knob Shaft

thingiverse

This is a control shaft for the hot-cold knob on a 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. It should fit most similar models. This part commonly breaks due to a design flaw that makes it difficult to turn. A recall supposedly fixes the problem... but it does not. This part is placed vertically because the shaft walls would not print well, but this creates a shear effect along the layers. If your printer can do it, I recommend placing it horizontal to remove the shear effect. This was made with tinkercad, https://tinkercad.com/things/2IbqGGgu56P Edit: It turns out Ebay is now selling these for $25. When this first broke for me, I could only order the whole unit for $400, hence the necessity of the work.
