Avanti Light Mount Bracket
Avanti made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the light mount bracket is a regular on our bench. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Light brackets crack at the clamp hinge. 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 PETG-CF. Carbon-fibre PETG is noticeably stiffer than the stock plastic, so the part holds its shape under clamping force instead of slowly creeping loose.
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.
