So, the end of the flap of my mini split deteriorated and crumbled - from just age, I don't know. The shaft of the motor just spun freely in the little nub, and the flap wouldn't open. I tried glue, but the brittleness of the nub made it just crack in a different spot. So this is what I came up with. Just a small brag. To me this is what 3D printing is all about.

Hell ya, nice work, its always satisfying to go from idea to physical and have it work.

Impressive!

It's such a great feeling, isn't it? The most impressive example of this I've managed was designing and printing in TPU new tires for my e-skateboard. It took a few iterations before I found the right "no air" design and TPU, as some are harder and less flexible, but in the end I was able to print long-lasting tires that gripped well and were flexible enough to be comfortable.

Nice!

Yeah, the amount of things I've printed to solve a minor problem is quite a lot.
