This is an important thing to consider when designing, as well. My part has a nice flat piece on top, and everything else prints fine in that orientation, so I oriented that part to be on the build plate. This probably isn't necessary, but I felt better about the strength of the final part, and 100% infill also lowers the chances of the part getting filled with water. Here are a few considerations while printing: Now that you've got your design, it's time to print it, then test fit it to make sure it's how you want. Don't worry! This is a normal learning and designing process, and it's exactly how all engineering works. You'll likely create several iterations of the design. Some of these, especially printability and tolerances, are applicable to many design processes, in 3D printing and other manufacturing processes, not just making your own windshield washer nozzles. I figured out I could make them both much bigger, and they worked fine.
My original design had a tiny nozzle hole, and a tiny tube for the fluid- Both got plugged. Print smaller, and you run the risk of clogged holes.
WINDSHIELD WIPER NOZZLES OZZLE HOW TO
Also, I figured that if their mechanics couldn't figure out how to install/fix a washer nozzle, what the heck would happen if they had something even more difficult to address? You know, like putting air in a tire or replacing a burned out light bulb?įool me once, shame on you. They destroyed any future business from a customer in order to put fifty bucks in their pocket. I have never been back to that Ford dealership. That was the vehicle that I traded in for my Charger at a different dealership. And I never had another problem with them. Now I had a good strong, steady stream thru both nozzles. I popped the hood and noticed that there was an insulating panel on the underside of the hood, right where I needed to look, but was able to reach in between the hood and that panel over to where the right hand nozzle was and by touch, reconnected the little hose to the nozzle and twist the connector until it snapped into the locked position. I was all set to bring it back in and ask WTF, when I decided I'd investigate the problem myself.
Weak stream on the left, no stream on the right. About two weeks later I tried to use the washers and they were the same as they were before I took it in. I wasn't happy about it, but paid my bill and left.
WINDSHIELD WIPER NOZZLES OZZLE PLUS
They sold me a new set of nozzles, plus labor and charged me almost fifty bucks. Thinking that it was only a few months since I bought it I was hoping that they would fix it no charge. So, naturally I brought it back to the dealership where I bought it for an oil change and told them then that the washers were unusable. The one on the left was a pretty weak stream and would not even reach the windshield and the one on the right was not spraying anything at all. I bought a 2012 Ford Escape back in 2014 at a local Ford dealership and at the time I bought it was during a dry spell so I didn't realize that the washers were non operational. I offer the following story for your amusement only. I really don't have any knowledge or experience with the Dodge Charger washers as referenced above.
