100% -- the original design for the Cozy is from the early 90s, before 3D printing became popular, and this part seems like a good candidate for 3D printing. It just seems like the maker chose the wrong materials and didn't test it adequately.


It's a candidate, but it is definitely not a run race, temps under the engine covers of a plane can get surprisingly high (surprising because you'd think you have plenty of airflow half a meter behind a pocket hurricane). I'm not sure if high temp filaments would be the solution here, but they'd be better candidates. It would need some very thorough testing before trusting your life (or in this case: someone else's) to that kind of solution.
