Interior Rear-view Mirror Clip
2002-2008 Ford Fiesta MK5
Description
My clip was broken so I designed a piece that is not quite the same but works fine. The spherical joint is made loose on purpose so you can put some soft material in it and make the mirror adjustable (I used tennis grip tape). Also, a car can get really hot in the sun so you might want to print the model with a material that can withstand high temperatures. I guess ABS would do the the job but I don't have some so I used regular PLA with annealing to improve heat resistance (30 min at 110°C in tamped wheat flour in the oven, then cooling at room temperature).
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
