Description
This is the little rotating piece that holds the rubber floor mat in place on the drivers side of a Subaru Outback, from 2021 onwards. Should be the same as the XV's and the Forester's.
One of them has broken off, possibly from getting kicked, or from someone not being careful when taking the mat out. The retainer part on the back of the large plastic bracket was also broken off, so it would be a case of buying another whole bracket to fix it, or you can print this design.
There are three parts, the part you twist, which has an M3 threaded hole in the back, a small spacer washer that fits in the top of the bracket and a backing washer (you can also just use metal washers). An M3 by 12 or 15mm screw is used to hold it all in place, or a small self tapper may also work. There's also a design which has the spacer washer in-built, but it will need supports to be printed.
Green coloured prints in the picture were done in PLA as a test fit, the black ones are in PCTG, which prints like PLA, but is more like PETG with its heat resistance.

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.
