Description

PDF

This is the support peg for the trunk cover on a Subaru Legacy Outback 2011 (4th gen). This is for the spring loaded side (right side).

The shape is the same on the opposite side except the shaft would be different (larger diameter, no clips on the side and would need a locating rib on the top. If you need one of those, feel free to take the rest of the geometry from this file.

Tested on a European Outback 2011 2.0D (diesel engine) model. I assume it is the same across all variants of the same year at least though.

Update (2022-07-13)! The shaft of the first one broke after half a year. I made a stronger one by making the shaft solid (apart from the tabs). So far it has held after more than another half year. However, I have now sold the car in question.

Notes on materials & printing

Print lying down on the side for maximum strength in length direction of shaft.  Needs supports enabled unfortunately.

Since this is going in a car which can get hot I suggest NOT using PLA. PETG or ABS would be good choices. Due to the shape of it it is easy for it to want to warp and lift off the bed of the printer, even with a brim!

When using PrusaSlicer I suggest putting the object diagonally on the bed so that the first layer of the supports are not in line with the object. This increases resistance to the plastic lifting off.  Open the 3MF file in PrusaSlicer to see what I mean.

Notes on the source file

The source file is attached. It uses FreeCAD Link branch daily (downloads from https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3). The file will not work on FreeCAD 0.19.

As an alternative for users working in other CAD software, a STEP file is also provided.
