tdc Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 hey guys, it's been a minute. still daily driving my $150 720 and still loving it! anyway, the point of this post was both of my sunvisor clips broke this winter, which is a pain in the butt. rather than deal with used ones out of an equally old truck, just as likely to break as mine were, i decided to redesign them a bit and 3d print them. they turned out great! the one picture is printed in pla, which isn't ideal for car interiors as it gets too hot inside during most summer days, but i've reprinted them in petg which is totally up to the task. anyway, i've thrown the file on thingiverse if anyone else has access to a printer and would like to make their own, or i'd be happy to print you off a set too for the cost of material and shipping if you need some and don't have printer access, just hit me up! here's the thingiverse link to it - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2835620 3 1 Quote Link to comment
MaxChlan Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 My clips have completely broken away, and I was very sad about it. What was the cost of materials? 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Same, I want a set. How much? Post in classified, you will sell a ton of these 3 Quote Link to comment
tdc Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 right now the only color i have in petg is translucent red, but if there's interest in can totally pick up some black or grey or whatever. also petg is totally sand and paintable.i'm just running the red ones for nowi'll have to figure out the price once i get home from work tonight. i wasn't really looking to sell them, but rather share the file for anyone who wanted it, but id be happy to make some for you guys. 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I know there was a ton of interest for the 620 clips. I never got around to modeling them though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 That sounds reasonable. I would like black or light gray colored ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
olskool720 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'd probably buy a set or two also 1 Quote Link to comment
Toxicrain Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Ill buy a set in gray or a dark blue ! 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I will buy a set in blue, tan, grey, purple, or anything really. :-) Just need heat tolerance as shade temps hit 99°F+ here 1 Quote Link to comment
tdc Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 i'm just waiting till thursday (payday) to order up some black and/or grey filament and then i should be able to start popping them out for people. looking at maybe a week? if anyone wants red or aqua i can do a set now as those are the only colors i have in petg at the moment, but i'll get normal colors on the way as soon as possible. petg has a pretty high melting point, i run my printer at 480ish fahrenheit to print with it, haha. it's great for interior parts! 1 Quote Link to comment

DIY 1985 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'll try a pair. 1 Quote Link to comment
tdc Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 the petg showed up today, i wasn't able to get grey, but i got black and white. test printing a single clip in the black right now, if it comes out nice i'll get a bunch printing tomorrow while i'm at work and set up a thing in the classifieds. 4 Quote Link to comment
tdc Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 so the first batch is finished and they didn't come out as nice as my first prints did. i think it's probably because i printed 12 (6 pair) at once, and since my printer's not exactly the best machine on the market, it might have been a bit much for it. these are totally 100% useable, especially if you're planning on sanding them to get rid of the printer lines and glossy sheen, but i do plan to print some in a smaller batch to see how that goes. i've also got upgrade parts for my printer sitting on my desk that i need to install, so the quality may get even better still. that said, i have 7 pairs ready to go if anyone wants them (the extra set are a couple test prints that came out good)! - this link will take you to the ad 2 Quote Link to comment

Toxicrain Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Thanks tdc! they look great function as they should and shipping time was phenomenal!! i didn't even need to bother with sanding. Now i can say that i have 3d printed parts on my truck and now i am one more step towards a clean interior. Still need a new dash and headliner. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
