Are you going to have a mold made? If no, have you test what a life cycle is for a live hinge on a 3d printed part? Troy
A mold is being planned concurrently with a 3d printable design. I will be testing, but even if these come out like the originals, I'd be surprised if people get more than two open and close cycles. I have never had luck. The standard 4 wire piece I have new, I broke one of two just opening. There are materials I am looking at that can stand more deflection at high temps without breaking.
I "cycled" the two, presumably 50 year old looms, all the way open and closed 36 times each and they are still intact. All of these samples came from 70-72 Buick engines / compartments
