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.

        All of you are responding to a post that's 3 years old and the OP hasn't been on here since. Helpful tip, you can click on a user's name and see when their last activity was. 

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

      If you received the info, would you please share? I've messaged the original post, but no response just yet.

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

    I'm happy to share the contact information via PM for the person that made mine for me-no affiliation.
  • 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 did not, but the part numbers were not the same.
  • Did you try to cross fit any of the Atwood tongue jack covers?
  • 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!
  • Very cool. Mine are original, but so far they are holding on.
