https://www.makerneer.com/product-page/v2-0-replacement-subaru-gas-cap-lanyardIf you have a Subaru with a broken gas cap tether, you were probably like me and annoyed that the dealer only sold the whole cap and leash. I wasn't annoyed with it enough to buy the whole assembly, so it stayed broken for a few years. Eventually I found I could 3D print in flexible materials and shortly after that the car was whole again.
Talking to other Subaru owners, I found this was pretty common issue. So, having a replacement that's better than the original and cheaper than the dealer turned out to be something other people wanted too. This is the product that finally pushed me to create my business in 2015 so I could start selling my 3D printed items.
The question I get the most is, how's it hold up?
It holds up much better than the OEM version. I used the original version for 582 days before switching to test V2.0. I've had V2.0 on my Subaru since April 2017 with no issues.
For more info, here's a link to some very scientific testing I preformed in my laboratory:

I'm happy to answer questions, send me a message if you'd like more info or a custom print.
