Description
This clip is not a perfect replica of the original, but is close enough in appearance (especially once installed) to be noticed by only the most discerning eye. It has been designed to function as per the original, and be easy to print easily. Several revisions of the design were tested, and this was the final and best performer.
The model comes with some support features, which have proven successful. I have also provided a 'no support' model if required.
I recommend for beige or tan interiors such as mine, where finding a matching filament is difficult, to print the clip in black, as this matches many other trim details in the roof panel (e.g. the centre light cluster).

Print instructions
* Use model with support fins, orient flat face to bed (as shown)
* 30% infill
* 0.2 mm layer height
* No support (support fins included in the model)
Post-processing:
* When finished, cut the support fins off the part flush with surrounding surfaces. These surfaces are hidden once installed.
Installation:
* Unclip sun visor and move to side
* Remove cap from existing clip (if present)
* Using a Phillips 2 screwdriver, unscrew recessed screw and remove clip
* Install new clip using existing screw. Do not fully tighten.
* Clip sun visor into new clip, ensuring alignment.
* Holding clip carefully in place, unclip visor and tighten screw (no, I'm not M-B, I'm not giving you a torque setting!)

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 | $17.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $18.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $18.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $18.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $20.00 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $20.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $21.00 | 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.
