A broken grip end plug shouldn't sideline otherwise good Malvern Star equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. 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. Vibration and repeated use do the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
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.
