Box Trailer Tail Light Surround
Spares support for older Box Trailer products is patchy at best. Reproducing the tail light surround locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Light surrounds crack and let water into the loom. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points and clip geometry from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
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.
