Description

Broke the existing clip and instead of going to the wreckers looking for a replacement, why not print one?
This one works ok, if it breaks again I will be narrowing the mouth of the holder, lowering it and putting in some supports to make it's grip a little stronger.
Width of the "C" that holds the whole clip in place could also be a little wider to prevent it sliding left to right. Don't think it needs reshaping to get a better grip on the car.
May fit other years and models.
Hopefully I've designed the scad file so that it can be tweaked without too much stress.

Minor changes to give the clip and insert a little more strength.

Print instructions

Printed this out on the UP! 3D printer on it's side. Meant there was a continuous layer of plastic around where it needs to bend.

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.
