3D Printing Success Story

The jack covers on our 2014 Lance 865 had gotten very brittle and I broke one of them when I was washing the camper. After an exhaustive search, I was not able to find any OEM replacement covers for the Atwood jacks. I found someone on Etsy that offered 3d printing services and I was able to have him print/create an entire set of new jack covers for not much more than one OEM replacement cover.
OEM:


3D printed:


There is a crack in the bottom part of the 3D part. I tried to stretch it around the jack when it was very cold, I am certain if I had warmed up the plastic it would not have split.
  • Very cool. Mine are original, but so far they are holding on.
  • Nice!! I just found a guy on Etsy that does stainless work and had him do some custom stainless trim for our range hood. Great resource!
  • Did you try to cross fit any of the Atwood tongue jack covers?
  • Good job. I think I'm going to do the same for my 2004 Lance 815 manual jacks. Want to redesign it so the pin is protected from the weather too.
  • I'm happy to share the contact information via PM for the person that made mine for me-no affiliation.

      Could you share that info please, I need a cover also

  • Would you mind sharing the contact info you have for the Atwood cover? Mine is destroyed and can't find a replacement. Thanks

  • Will you share the contact for the person who did that for you? I'm in need of replacements for my camper.
