Doric Sash Roller Housing
We keep getting asked about this one — the sash roller housing is one of those Doric parts that fails long before the rest of the unit is done. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Sash rollers flatten and windows drag. Heat cycling is the killer here: years of expanding and contracting work-hardens the plastic until a routine bump becomes the final straw.
How we reproduce them
We model these in CAD from your sample, print a test-fit first, then run the final part once the fit is confirmed. Expect a few days end to end.
We print these in Nylon. Nylon is slippery and fatigue-resistant, which makes it the right choice for parts that pivot, slide or flex thousands of times.
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.
