Avanti

We keep getting asked about this one — the grip end plug is one of those Avanti parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break

Bar end plugs fall out and grips fray. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — years on, there's no margin left in it.

How we reproduce them

Reproducing one is straightforward for us: we measure your sample (broken is fine, as long as most of it is there), match the profile, and print in a tougher modern material. Turnaround is usually within the week.

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.
