Description
Print the parts, remove any sharp edges, blobs or other imperfections and open up the hole for the push-in clip. Rub over the visble areas with a 3M Scotch Brite pad and plenty of water to obtain a nice matte finnish.
Hardware:
6 pc M3x8mm stainless screws (hex button head or hex socket head recommended), 6 pc stainless M3 nuts. Please note that the screw length must be exactly 8mm.
Tools:
Allan-key for the M3 screws and a flat screw-driver for the Tesla push-in rivet
Installation:
- Clean the area thoroughly, there must be no sand or dirt between the paint and the printed parts.
- Release and remove the Tesla plastic push-in rived using the flat screw-driver.
- Assemble the printed mud guard and the back plate. Let only a few threads on the M3 screws grip into the M3 nuts to make maximum slack between the two printed parts.
- Keeping some spacing between the printed parts, carefully slide the mud guard into position, the back-plate goes behind the steel lip.
- Adjust position.
- Reinstall the Tesla plastic push-in rivet.
- Fine adjust the position again if neccessary.
- Tighten the M3 screws.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
