Description

A replacement for the small plastic clip which retains the rod connecting the door handle to the latch on a Fiat 500. When the original clip wears out, the rod falls out and you can't open the door from the outside! First attempts at printing this in the obvious orientation ended with the clip breaking during fitting, but it worked much better when printed on its side. I printed in TPU but I think PETG or even PLA would be OK.

ASA$18.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$18.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.

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.
