I have been thaught in the basic functions of SolidWorks 3D-design program by our member and my dear friend Serge.
He has most kindly supplied me with a very nice PC packed with powerful softwares so that I can train and learn the various functions.
The very first part that I created is the turn signal auto cancel switch lever - this way my learning was given an extra dimension of practical use.
Serge also provided the very first test printout, which proved to have precise dimensions and a good fit.
The first picture shows the inside of the broken switch.
The second picture shows the broken lever.
The third Picture shows the 3D drawing.
The fourth photo shows the switch opened.
The fifth photo shows the switch with the new 3D-printed lever.
The sixth photo shows the repaired switch with the new lever.

Hi Sven Looks great, congratulations. Did you print out the lever of the cancel switch on a 3D printer and what material is it? I assume the slider of the stop switch ontop of the windshield wiper with two tabs is a candidate as well for a 3D repro part.
