Why these break
Pin caps go missing and pins rattle loose. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
The process is simple: drop the part in or send clear photos with a ruler in frame, we confirm fit details, and print replacements — often with a little extra material where the original always cracked.
We print these in TPU. TPU is flexible and grippy, so it absorbs the impacts and vibration that crack rigid plastics, and it is kind to the surfaces it touches.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
