Description
My replica isn't perfect, but the dimensions are all correct. Unfortunately I cannot find a reasonable way to print it that will give it the quality and strength I'm looking for. So, I made a second version that can be easily printed in four parts and then assembled with either plastic cement or with M3 screws and heat-set inserts.
The main body is simple to print. The holes for the inserts are meant for a brass M3x4mm heat set insert, specifically these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333827100777
The "arms" that hold the flare should be printed as pictured in the screenshot with the edge of the screw flange touching the buildplate. Use supports for this.
The peg is a peg. Print carefully.
Assembly is simple. You need 4x M3 inserts and 4x M3 screws about 6mm long. Insert the brass inserts and screw the arms to the main body. The peg should be glued or cemented into its hole.
Installation required 1 trim clip or plastic rivet that will fit through the hole in the bracket and the kick panel.
Update 26-Sept-2021: Increased size of center hole in main body to accommodation a wider range of trim clips and fasteners.

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 | $42.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $43.50 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $50.00 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $48.00 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $60.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $60.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $69.00 | 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.
