Glove box latches to cure rattle (3D print)

4Runner Lifestyle product sold out at the moment.

Luckily, my glove box on the TH does not rattle. At least I have a fix if it does though

Mine didn’t rattle, but there was some play in it when I pushed on it so considered it a cheap fix!

For the record, I printed in pla+ and will probably get a set done in black nylon MJF now. Both hard materials that should never wear out from the bolt striking and grinding on them.

The grommets don't work by cushioning, they work by just pressing the door into the spring loaded plunger bumpers in the dash.

Though I'm curious about the possibility of tpu also. Maybe the hard grommets would still rattle if the vibration was extreme, and maybe rubber ones would still not no matter what?

But I've never even tried to push tpu through the bowden setup on my dinky little monoprice select mini 2.

Try Bambu labs TPU for AMS. It's a firmer tpu that might work for you. I used to put ninja flex top fed threw my ender 3 but it was high modded and went threw a bondtech LGX. Ill try and print some TPU ones with my X1C and see how they turn out.

No accounting for taste in their cancerous pop-up hell ridden site. Nice to have options though. 4Runner Lifestyle ones look a bit more polished. These look on par with what OP posted. Probably stole his file and started selling them.

hah that does look pretty close alright. It's allowed to copy & even sell it, but the cc-by-sa license means you are supposed to make the source available and credit the original author. A simple link to the github would satisfy both. I don't see anything like that but it's also such a simple little thing that eh whatever. I make no actual accusation. Maybe they made their own that just looks exactly the same. hehe

I actually have a nice k1c with it's multi spool thing and better nozzle all still new in boxes out in storage, meanwhile what I actually use is this $100 ebay monoprice that I modded beyond all reason & running klipper. Just because it's so small and fits on a shelf right near me. I would have to do some work to make a place to set up the k1c. I are the dumb.

Mine has considerable play but does not rattle. Have you tried the felt or rubber used on cabinet doors? They are self adhesive and available at Lowes or Home Depot

This is how I corrected it. The two spring loaded plungers on each side got upgraded to a stiffer spring. I tried stretching them first, but, made no difference. They actually went back to their original length. I then added the rubber bumpers. No more plastic on plastic violence when you close it. It worked out fantastic.

This is a fantastic solution, how did you do this?

I took it apart. Went to the hardware store and bought the springs and rubber bumpers. Installed them and put everything back together

Great! Looks like I’ll be rummaging through ACE this weekend. Thanks!

Got mine done even though I didn’t have a rattle. Wonder if they beefed up the springs a bit as it didn’t seem like there was as much play as in some of the videos I’ve seen.

Printed in Bambu labs TPU for AMS and it’s a 95a making it a harder rubber than your standard TPU and still be softer than the other plastics. So shouldn’t cause any damage to the latches and ware out if there is any rubbing or movement. Printed with a .6mm nozzle just to test them out. Going to try a set with a .4mm and a fine layer to see if I can get them silky smooth.
