Horse Float Jockey Wheel Clamp Knob
Salt, sun and vibration are brutal on Horse Float plastics, and the jockey wheel clamp knob usually gives up first. A tougher printed replacement breaks that cycle. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Clamp knobs strip and the jockey wheel slips. 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
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.
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.
