I am aware of the replacement armrest tops on LMR and CJ Pony parts, but what if you install the new one and break it again? I came up with a simple solution for fixing the armrest latch. Thanks to 3D printing this little mod fixed my latching problem quickly, only took 25 minutes to print.

Very nice job.


Is it PLA? If so, it will become brittle over time and eventually fail. You might want to try printing it from a more robust material such as nylon

PETG, same printing properties as PLA but much stronger. If it does fail in the next few years then I’ll spend .02 cents on a new one. lol
