I decided to upgrade my PVC pipe version of a canopy strut lock to 3D printed item. 3D printed version has a much better fit and I added a key ring tab to attach a Remove Before Flight flag.
The printable STL file will be available on Thingverse.com and Printabales.com shortly, along with some other RV-12 3D parts I created.

Will this work on my rv6a?
Is there any chance you have a dwg file for this part and if so can I buy that from you?
Thanks

John,
I searched on the two sights you posted and could not find the files for the canopy stop or any other items you mentioned were created for your 12.
I know a couple schools that have 3D printers where I plan to contact them to see about them making these parts for me. However, if paying you for creating the parts is an option I would be interested too.
Thanks
Would you be willing to print and ship a pair of these to someone with a -12iS who doesn't have access to a 3D printer? Of course paying you for them and the shipping.
Early RV-12's can be subject to an even greater danger than the canopy closing unexpectedly; it can blow forward in a wind gust and into the moving propeller.
Does anyone have their canopy open after engine start?
Try one of these links, same files on both
John,
Sent you a PM - struggling with your RV-12 step plug file which is on printables.
Appreciate if you get a moment to take a look.

Thanks for the link! I just had mine printed at my local library free of charge. Came out great!
Looks like the inch dims in the .stl file are being read as mm dims by the slicer software, which makes for tiny parts. I will generate a new .stl to see if that fixes the problem.
