3D Printing

Kieran from Rangiora

Can anyone assist me please? I have a plastic part on my car that is past it's use by date and Toyota tell me that the part is "Discontinued"
I was wondering if anyone knew of some one with a 3D printer that may be able to manufacture me a new part? Failing that I have been given a block of plastic that someone with the right tools and skill may be able to shape the part for me. I had a quote from a plastic moulding company in ChCh for $400 just to design the plan to put it through the moulding process then there would be manufacturing costs on top of that. Bit steep for a bit of plastic I thought. I have attached photos of the offending part . Any help would be much appreciated.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
