Lawnmower air filter cover retainers
Accidentally twisted too hard and broke the retainer for the air filter cover on my mower the other day.
Two piece for good strength against the expected torque, ASA cause this will sit in the sun. Press fit + super glue to assemble.
Strength wise, even the test PLA print couldn't be snapped without hand tools as the whole shaft is solid and printed in a sane orientation. It held up to putting my weight on it on the edge of the table, so the ASA ones will likely outlast the mower.
