I have a 3d printer and love designing car parts. I mostly have done stuff for my Raptor so far.

Can you share the part number or pic of the part? Is it the plastic piece that the leather boot attaches to?

I will have to take measurements and mock it up in CAD. Shouldn't be too hard. Once I make it, I can send it your way.

I usually print my parts in PETG.

Perfect ; I don't know why someone isn't making this part. Someone on ebay is trying to sell one for $175 and I don't think it's OEM.

I found this btw. In case you need the whole assembly. That's a pretty good price for OEM piece.

The interior door handles are another super hard part to find that might have a market for your skill.

Yeah, I saw that on Amazon and it's just the boot, not the frame.

You sure? The 2nd image shows the frame and clips for it. If it's just the boot, that's blatant false advertising.

The reviews also indicate that it comes with the frame. The one unhappy reviewer said it didn't come with the metal clips, but those are easy to source. I think that's the most cost-effective option. I can remove mine and get measurements and design it tonight but I would charge $50 shipped for the part alone which is more than what this part+boot costs
