A/C Box blend doors

[latvius]

I need new blend doors, and unfortunately GM discontinued the lower one. Has anybody 3d printed them?
In the diagram it is items 11 & 12

Haven't personally. I'd avoid PLA because of the heat, but ABS or Nylon... something like that I'd say it would hold up just fine.

I show your #11 as backordered. I show part number 89018306 and 89018307. Same as yours?

89018306 GM says discontinued, as in my local GM dealership when I tried to order it.

Whelp I may be buying a printer and scanner, just gotta get a used door to scan.

Looks like a pretty simple part - I'd say avoid the scanner and manually model it. It will be more accurate with a higher likelihood of fitting.

I gotta buy a printer first but sounds like a good reason to get one
