Crusader Fly Screen Frame Corner
A broken fly screen frame corner shouldn't sideline otherwise good Crusader equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Screen frame corners crack during cleaning. 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
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. PETG has a little give in it, so it snaps into place like the original and shrugs off the knocks that shattered the old part.
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.
