Print Profile(2)
Bill of Materials
Description
Thank you Bambu Lab for selecting this model as one of the featured models for the PET-CF Filament line! You can find out more about the filament here and here
I designed these 3D-printed oil dipstick handles as replacements for broken handles on various 90's and 2000's Mazda models. Available in three unique styles, these handles offer both durability and aesthetic options for restoring dipsticks.
- Knurled Cylinder: This style offers a textured, cylindrical grip for enhanced handling, even with oily or wet hands. The knurled surface provides a secure, tactile feel, making it a practical upgrade for those who prefer a rugged, functional design.
- Shovel Handle Style: Inspired by classic utility handles, this design features a curved, ergonomic shape for easy grip and leverage. Its broad profile makes it convenient for quick removal and insertion of the dipstick.
- Smoothed Oval Standard Handle: This style mimics the traditional oval handle with a smooth, minimalist finish. It is designed for those looking for a simple, reliable replacement that closely resembles the original.
Vehicle Fitment Chart:
| Model | Year | Fits |
| Miata / MX - 5 | 1990 - 2005 | Yes |
| Protege / 5 | 1999 - 2003 | Yes |
| 626 | 1993 - 2002 | Yes |
| MX - 6 | 1993 - 1997 | Yes |
All handles were 3D printed in Bambu Lab PETG-CF, ensuring heat resistance and longevity in the demanding environment of an engine bay; although other viable filaments include PAHT-CF, ABS-GF, PA6-GF, ASA, and PET-CF.
These replacement handles are designed to slot over the broken portion of the dipstick and are secured with a screw through a hole in the dipstick drilled by the user. This straightforward installation process makes them a practical solution for anyone looking to restore functionality without replacing the entire dipstick.
