A replacement rear headrest release button for the Volkswagen New Beetle (1998 to 2010).
I designed and tested this part on my 2008 VW Beetle. While it fits mine perfectly, I cannot guarantee fitment across every New Beetle year/trim. I have included the STEP files so you can easily modify dimensions if needed.
Installation
Just line it up and push to snap the thing in

Attribution & Background
Inspired by [RobisonBrother's design on Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7371595).
When I printed their version, none of the dimensions quite lined up for my car, even though we both have 2008 models. I took fresh measurements and modeled my own version from scratch. Huge thanks to RobisonBrother for sharing their original files and providing a great starting point. Be sure to check out their design as well; it might end up fitting your specific Beetle better!

Print Settings
* Printer: Bambu Lab P1S
* Nozzle: 0.25mm Revo
* Material: PETG (PLA is not recommended due to interior car temperatures)
* Layer Height: 0.1mm Adaptive
* Walls / Perimeters: 5 to 10
* Infill: 10%
* Wall Generator: Arachne
> Printing Note: A nozzle smaller than 0.4mm is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. The section that interfaces with the metal latch is only 0.6mm wide, so the extra precision is required for proper mechanical function. Printing with a 0.4mm nozzle is probably still possible, but the small gap may not print properly/accurately if your printer is not extremely dialed. Use the right tool for the job don't go hunt rabbits with a cannon! 🙂
