Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Gear Shifter Surround
This is the kind of gear shifter surround that dealers only sell as part of a whole assembly — if they can supply it at all for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter these days. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Console surround cracks at the clip points. 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
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 ABS. ABS matches the look and feel of the factory plastic, takes a sanded or textured finish well, and handles cabin temperatures without complaint.
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.
