Mercedes-Benz M-Class / GLE 3D-printable parts

Left- and right-hand caps that close the openings at the tops of the front-door B-pillar trims. The creator modeled substitutes from a deteriorating original on an ML350, recommends ABS, ASA or PETG rather than PLA for sun exposure, and advises a test fit with light filing if necessary plus a small amount of clear adhesive behind the cap. EPC evidence found complete left/right trim mouldings, not these printed child caps, so no parent assembly number is assigned.

Centre-console panel that replaces the ashtray box and cigarette lighter to mount a small aftermarket Bluetooth/MP3/SD/USB module. The creator states fitment for the 2006–2009 W164 ML280, ML320 and related variants and shows the physical panel installed. The file contains no electronics: use cabin-heat-resistant material, secure the module, independently fuse and insulate any wiring, and confirm selector and control clearance.

Two-piece repair for the right-hand locking pin/holder used when the retractable luggage-compartment cover is pulled across the cargo area. The creator designed it from the broken component on a 2006 vehicle and separated the base and holder because a one-piece print was too tight to install; clip in the base, then bond the holder to it. Mercedes EPC-style evidence identifies exact child A1648120201 as the right cargo-cover locking pin and maps that same component to W164 and X164. Verify side, colour/trim interface and retention before use.

Replacement handle for adjusting the front-seat position after the creator’s original handle broke. The source explicitly identifies the first-generation SUV and includes a photograph of the printed handle installed beneath the seat. This is a convenience-control handle, not a structural seat or restraint component; compare the socket and lever travel before use.

Two rear third-brake-light cover variants. The creator recommends the file ending in “n2” for better fitment and specifies ABS rather than PLA. Exact fitment evidence is limited to the first-generation SUV; confirm the lamp housing and retention points before installation.

Three author files for replacement supports and clip geometry used on the front door trim. The creator states that the installed replacement remained in service for two years without a problem. Exact evidence is limited to the front doors of the first-generation SUV; compare the removed support and clip positions before installation.

Internal replacement gear for the original blend-door actuator used in the creator’s ML 320. The source identifies A1638200108 as the complete actuator, not as this printed child gear, so that parent assembly number is not assigned. The creator warns that aftermarket motors may differ, tolerances are very tight, and sizing may need adjustment. Print in ABS at 100% infill; PLA is explicitly not recommended. Mark the metal-shaft position before disassembly, reinstall the gear with the flat side up, and preserve the original actuator orientation.

Three-piece rear headlamp lid made after the creator lost the lid on an ML 270. Print the two rigid lid pieces in PETG or ABS, glue them together after removing support material beneath the hooks, and print the sealing insert in a flexible material. The creator suggests five perimeters and 50% infill for the first rigid piece, two perimeters and 10% infill for the second, and three perimeters and 10% infill for the flexible insert. The insert may be a tight push fit. Exact evidence is for the creator’s ML 270; confirm the headlamp housing before use.

Two author variants of the left/right rear-bumper opening cover for the pre-facelift (phase 1) vehicle. Source photographs show loose printed covers and installed results. Fitment is not established for facelift bumpers or alternative bumper packages; compare the opening, tabs and side before printing.

Two rear headlamp covers—one oblong and one small round cover—made by the creator for their first-generation SUV. The creator states that the small round cover needs light sanding to reduce visible faceting and recommends finishing the printed surfaces with varnish. Confirm headlamp housing and cover geometry before use.

Retaining-clip variants for the exterior trim strip below the headlamp. Exact source fitment is the first-generation SUV; the creator includes an elongated version that held the strip more securely on their vehicle. Three author OBJ variants are supplied. Compare the original clip and trim engagement before choosing a file.

Replacement windshield-washer-fluid reservoir cap proven by the creator on a 1999 first-generation SUV. The source reports that the original cap crumbles with age and that the replacement was printed successfully in dual-colour ABS; the colour change was made 1 mm into the print. Verify the cap profile against the vehicle before installation.
