This 3D model lets you print a replacement for a broken, worn or missing original piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Scorpios came with a main key that incorporated a small flashlight. Utilizing photos of the original key provided by fellow Scorpio enthusiast Ed Lijewski I was able to model the design here that utilizes a modern 5mm white LED and a 2032 battery. This is a better arrangement than the originals that used two agm alkaline batteries and an incandescent bulb. This is a detailed set of parts that are best printed with a UV resin printer. I suggest a tough, \"ABS like\" resin that is \"semi-flexible\". I would layout the parts as shown in my chitubox image and use heavy support and have the support attach to the \"bumps\" on the key fob to get a nice finish. The lid and logo parts are easy to layout and print. I painted the parts with satin black epoxy. The logo was painted with generic white paint. The LED fits into the hole area and the leads are bent so that one lead goes into the bottom slot in the main body and the other lead feeds through the tiny hole and slot on the dove tailed lid. The lid has a button portion that can flex and make contact to the battery. A cardboard ring on the top of the battery is helpful to add. I won't kid you it is a bit fiddly to get the LED and leads fitted. But once it is done it will work reliably when the fob is squeezed. You should make a copy of your original key using a Ford Transit blank available on Aliexpress and other places for under $10. I was able to make copies of my original key using a modified jig on a conventional key machine. You will have to figure out how to do this yourself (or find someone to do this for you) as I cannot assist you in this regard. You can then cut and grind the transit key head to have a small block remaining that you can then epoxy glue into the 3d printed fob square hole as shown in the photos. Please use a tough epoxy like JB weld. I suspect the LED would run about two hours of continuous use, but one typically only illuminates for a few seconds at a time and the battery should last a long time. I used OpenSCAD to create this model. I used a Photon Mono to print the parts. I used Rich-Opto black resin with about 25% F69 flex. However, now I would now use an \"ABS like\" resin that is currently available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFord Scorpio\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eAlways compare with your original part before printing.
