Merida Grip End Plug

Merida made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the grip end plug is a regular on our bench. 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

The process is simple: drop the part in or send clear photos with a ruler in frame, we confirm fit details, and print replacements — often with a little extra material where the original always cracked.

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.

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.
