Description
Hi, All!
Otibook did a beautiful job of creating this visor clip, but I found that the base and shaft were not strong enough. I thickened both the base and the tube walls, and added side struts that were similar to the original Chrysler part. I also found, personally, that printing the part in anything less than 100% fill resulted in a part that snapped apart too easily, so I recommend 100% fill for longevity and strength. Some people have suggested that a 60-80% fill results in a stronger part than 100%. I'm not sure why or how this could be true, but you may want to experiment with other percentages if you have any issues with 100%.
Finally, when you slice and print this, please print it sideways, so that the layers run vertically through the clip itself. This will result in a MUCH stronger part when you clip the visor in and out of the part.
The pictures I posted show both my printed result, as well as a side by side comparison to the original, broken, part. There are very slight differences in height, but none that will affect operation or how the part looks when installed in the car. Many thanks to Otibook for putting this part up on Thingiverse! I am happy to be able to offer an improved version of this piece, and I have no doubt that other owners of Chrysler products using this part will be pleased to see it available! Last year I replaced the other side (before I bought a 3D printer), and this little part cost over $10. It's very satisfying to have helped design a less expensive, and better (in my opinion) alternative!
Enjoy!

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.
