I may also need to change the layer orientation to give more strength.
Leading evidence: 'Replace layer orientation' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace layer orientation' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I replaced my whole unit but pulled the old one apart and it was a different problem but kept this part as it was still intact and I thought that it might be useful to someone one day.

I need to figure out how it is supposed to work before I can set about beefing it up at all.

Incidentally, my first test print seems pretty good (even in PLA, it's stronger than I expected).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi there.
I'm drawing up a replacement part for the bit of the indicator stalk that breaks and stops the cancelling working but I'm stuck. I don't have the little wings that break off near the pivot, so I don't know what I'm trying to replicate (see the red areas in the attached drawing).
Does anyone have one in bits that they could photograph for me please?
Incidentally, my first test print seems pretty good (even in PLA, it's stronger than I expected). If anyone is interested in the .stl file, let me know.
Many thanks,
Z
Is this the thing that you need from my 996.1?
I replaced my whole unit but pulled the old one apart and it was a different problem but kept this part as it was still intact and I thought that it might be useful to someone one day.
I appreciate the kind gesture but alas that's not the bit.
I still haven't 100% figured out how the cancelling works but that piece is pushed forward towards the steering column whenever you indicate left or right by a track in the indicator body. Returning the steering past straight ahead pushes on this bit which in turn seems to push on the appropriate tab on the top or bottom of the indicator body, returning it to the neutral position. The tabs are the bits that fail, leaving this part dangling.
If I can complete this 3D printed part then it should just be a case of swapping out the old bits (copper contactors & their springs, detent and spring, lever, roll pin) into the new body and we should be back in business.
Test print took a couple of hours (it beats watching paint dry, I can tell you) and revealed that I'd made a couple of small mistakes in the drawing which I'm working on.

Hmm.
Partial success. Here's the original (broken part) followed by my various prints to date.
1st was OK but was missing bits and had inaccuracies.
2nd did a "ball of wool" failure.
3rd had bed adherence problems and did a blob.
4th came out 95% OK but failed where the factory ones do when I tried to fit the "W" spring. (Broken tab to left of print)
I need to figure out how it is supposed to work before I can set about beefing it up at all. I may also need to change the layer orientation to give more strength.
It's progress, but not there yet.
Any insight/informed speculation into how the tabs actually cancel the indication would be much appreciated.

PS/ The bulk of the printed part seems to be dimensionally within tolerance. The stalk fits, interlock parts fit, roll pin fits etc.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
