Description

**EDITED**

 

After receiving feedback on the prongs breaking and difficulty printing on the face, I have added V2 (pictured in white PETG). This includes a less intricate face and added more material to the prongs. I also printed version 2 with .12mm layer height and seams alot more robust.

 

***** 

 

After breaking numerous automotive trim clips whilst working on my car, I have designed an 8mm trim clip as a replacement.

 

Save time and money at an auto parts store and print as many as you like, as they a generally a one-use item in the first place.

 

I printed in PETG, but i believe ASA, or ABS may be the better choice of material in this application.

 

Measurements as follows (approx.):

  • head of clip 20mm (¾")
  • fixing hole 8mm (5/16)
  • length of pin 10.5mm (7/16)

petg the little pins that spread when you insert the plug... I think you might need to change print orientation and use supports, so they have a bit more structural integrity...

I have added V2, which I have added more material to the prongs. Also, it has a more simplistic face which makes removing support material a much easier. Thank you for your feedback and hopefully you find the new version much better.

the top of each clip printed different, I even tried to slow it down and tried different filaments. none of them printed cleanly. I have not tried again after resetting my print settings, it might be fine now.

Rescaled for my own purposes but worked out just as good since the fit between the two pieces were great
