    Wondering if anyone had a 3d model so I can print front seat jackers for my '15? Figured with a larger bolt holding it tight and a 100% nylon print they should be reasonable strong. LMK!

    Unfortunately not. I ended up getting one of the knock off versions from Amazon for like $60. It works great, but it woulda been very very easy to measure out and just return.

    I print a lot of ridiculous things... but that's one that you really do not want to have done in plastic. Its a part that needs to survive a crash. It should be machined.

    I tend to disagree...the part is under constant compression via bolt. So a PETG or Nylon (high compressive strength) print with 100% infill should be extremely strong, and wont deform. Just don't use PLA...

    EDIT...I forgot if the bolt goes all the way through the part or not. If it's using threads in the plastic print, then I would agree with you and stick with the metal part!

    Its two bolts per side. You can't lift the front and run a longer bolt all the way through, the geometry won't allow that. And its not compression you have to worry about, its lateral shear.

    Your vehicle, your choice. I'm just saying its an extraordinarily bad idea.
