I got a good deal on this generator about 20 years ago due to the shipping damage on the end housing. It looked bad, but didn't impare the function. I looked at it the other day, and thought “Hey, I have some nice 3D printers now, I could fix that!”
I have included a photo of the broken OEM part.
Rather that try to make an exact replacement, I made a number of changes to make the part stronger, beveled the lower corner to help keep it out of harms way, and made the luvurs internal so they could sit flat on the build plate.
I made this from ABS so it warped a little, but since the critical surface that fits against the body of the generator printed last, it came out nice and flat, and fits perfectly.
I printed this face down, with support material for the corner mounting tabs.
I mainly posted this to inspire others to make functional parts to keep stuff out of landfills. With a 3D printer it doesn't matter so much if you can buy repair parts! Also you don't have to make an exact copy of the needed part…you can make it better!
I think there is a pretty slim chance anyone needs this exact part. Any branding has long since weathered off of my generator, so I can't even say what brand or model this fits. The overall dimensions of this part are 200 x 200mm, so if that discribes your generator, it might fit…
