VW Beetle window regulator slide

We printed this part last night to fix my son's wife's car.
Eric drew it up in Solid Works, then I printed it.
Fit like a OEM part! should be stronger to, he beefed it up in a few areas where OEM part failed.
This was only 2nd try on this part, 1st one we tried Slic3r supports but it made way to many to trim out with exacto knife, also had inside supports on some slots that where impossible to trim out. So we rotated part 90 degrees for better build angle and added a few 2mm support posts manually.
Oh, btw... the OEM repair option is a 'kit' with all new slides, cables, etc. for close to $100.00 !!!!!
