Saturn SL2 Parking Brake Button

thingiverse

Long story short, I have a 1999 Saturn SL2 I've been fixing up for my son who's starting to drive. In the process of fixing odds and ends on the vehicle, the parking brake lever's release button was busted. I had called a couple of junkyards looking for a replacement, but I never got a call back. The rest of the story... you're looking at it. Also, a thank you to the Computer Science department at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. - http://www.uwec.edu/computer-science After working with FreeCAD more, I would change the way I designed the part. Not so much the part itself, but just the process. I would have divided the part up into 2 or 3 subsections. It would have been much easier to make slight modifications. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2X Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: Low Infill: ~25% Notes: Only took about 20-25 minutes to print. Post-Printing Boiled it!!! Ahaha, so the funny thing is, the plastic is so hard, I couldn't get the white shaft ears to slide into the hole. So... I boiled the part in water for about a minute, pulled it out and pushed the parts together. How I Designed This FreeCAD I used FreeCAD (https://www.freecadweb.org/), the original part, and a micrometer to design the part.
