Horse Float Tail Light Surround
Horse Float made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the tail light surround is a regular on our bench. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Light surrounds crack and let water into the loom. Heat cycling is the killer here: years of expanding and contracting work-hardens the plastic until a routine bump becomes the final straw.
How we reproduce them
We model these in CAD from your sample, print a test-fit first, then run the final part once the fit is confirmed. Expect a few days end to end.
We print these in ASA. ASA is the UV-stable cousin of ABS — it holds its colour and strength through years of Australian sun where the original plastic went chalky and brittle.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
