Yes, I thought about laying it over and printing with supports. Making it strong would be easy. Thing is I don't want it to be too strong. I want it so it will break on impact so as not to damage the side panel where it mounts. These things constantly take small bumps whist maneuvering in tight spaces like parking in my tiny garage. The first ABS one broke my first ride and I don't even recall touching it on anything. It broke at one of the thin wall layers. The OEM piece was rubber and very flexible. It might actually be good to print this piece out of something like nylon. Pics in use at the above link in the "post-print" area. I've installed the PLA version and it looks good. It bends a bit and I tested it with fairly good force and it didn't break.
Oh, I designed it on Tinkercad. I will try to learn something more powerful as time permits. I have signed up for the free version of OnShape but have not had time to get into it yet.Last edited by raylo32; 09-22-2017 at 03:20 PM.
