Nissan XTrail / Rogue Rear Seat Latch

thingiverse

I lowered my rear seats and managed to snap off the seat latch handle by forcing down the seat when the front seat was slid too far back. *facepalm*. 3D Printing to the rescue!!! This STL is modeled from the original seat catch from my 2007 Nissan XTrail complete with the internal thread to screw onto the metal rod that connects to the mechanism. I printed with a 0.4 nozzle and sliced with a wall thickness of 3 walls for high strength, this makes the slender part of the catch almost solid. Infill is almost irrelevant as it is only used in the fat bit at the top. I used about 15% I printed in PLA and it seems to be working fine!
