Self designed alternative cover substitution for BK21-V27454-FCW on the inside of sliding door of a Ford Transit Custom

Prequisites:
* Some welding glue (like UHU Plast Special)
* Some more bit elastic glue (like UHU Plus 2 Component Epoxyglue)
* holding hook from the original
* Self-adhesive rubber tape, size 6x3mm
 

Print setup:
* Printer: Prusa MK3S+ (incl. MMU2S)
* Nozzle: 0,40 mm
* Layer height: 0.20 mm (quality-variant/presetting  in Prusaslicer)
* Filament: PETG (ocean blue for cover, orange for the connection pin - Brand: Prusament)
* Infill: 100%
* Supports: yes (if object must be aligned diagonal due to the lack of space)
** I positioned some more support-"pillars" manually instead of for the whole cover
** also some on the upper side of the cover for the lower hooks as also for those on the sides
* Base temperature: 90C°
* Nozzle temperature:
** first layer 230C°
** then 250C° for the fast print (240C° if printed at 100% feed rate)
* 200% feed rate (with my printer setup it works sufficiently)
 

Post print:
* Calm on removing the supports from the cover and hooks ;)
* It is recommended to put some flexible glue on the back of the hooks for more stability (f.e. UHU Plus 2 Component Epoxyglue)
* Glue the connecting pin on the inner side of the cover (f.e. UHU Plast Special) to mount the holding hook from the original on it later
* Attach self-adhesive rubber tape (6x3mm) flush to the printed ring on the back of the lid
 

Comments:
* The hooks I reformated/modified multiple times (adding multiple parts to them) until they fit quite good. As a side effect of that they have some more “strange” vectors and you can see a bit unsmooth surface when zooming in. Either way that doesn't matter for the print, so I didn't retouch it anymore…sorry ;)
* The first attached gcode file version for the cover is configured with an infill of 15% (gyroid) what affects the hooks, but with the glue on the inner/back side as described it's strong enough, probably it has the desired elasticity cause of that fact, so I decided to add that one instead of one with 100% infill first. Later I added a version with 100% infill (but also with a feed rate of 200% from the second layer on)
