-+- What this is -+-

A replacement for Volvo 240 headlight wiper holders (see picture with blue "circle"). It fits on the original wiper arm and fits universal back windshield wipers. Tested on a Volvo 244 DL.

 

 

-+- Printing settings: -+-

USE ABS-PLASTIC. PLA melts!
I tried
(It's fine if the car doesn't have ABS, though…)

 

Check .gcode-file for reference:

  • 20% infill (gyroid works well)
  • Layer height/Quality: 0.1 mm (0.4 mm nozzle)
  • Use support (Tree support is nice)
  • Use brim to avoid warping

If you are having trouble attaching it, try scaling the part up or down. Sanding might also be necessary to make the part fit on the wiper arm. The design uses friction to stay in place.

 

 

-+- Backstory -+-   ಠ_ಠ - “For a windshield wiper?”

Had trouble finding original parts to replace broken headlight wiper holders, & finding local headlight wipers that fit the original wiper holders, so here is a printable version that fits universal rear window wipers instead!
