Bonnet Strut Clip
1990-1995 Toyota Sera
Description
I originally tried using v3 of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1778337 but printing it upright did not give it enough strength. Putting the strut into the clip wound up splitting the clip. So I tried printing it sideways. Because of the design being closer to the original clip, it needed some support and I wasn't satisfied with how it printed. So I designed my own version from scratch, using the original thing as a guideline, but with the idea that I wanted it to be printable on its side with no supports. To be clear: my part is less originally accurate than the one from sheanstickle, so if accuracy to the original OEM part is important to you, don't use mine! But if you use mine, don't worry, it will work, even if it is a little different.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
