Rear Cargo Sun-Shade Clips - 3D Printed - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

KPW · 07-04-2017

Doing a little trunk freshen up on my car, and I had thought the rear shade clips could use a little optimization.

Pulled the old ones out and drew up a version that captures the shade better. Printed using a blend of PLA plastic with 30% carbon fiber.

Works great, and should last a while!

Picture below of the old and the new.

Good morning Paul,
What is the point?
3D printing has been used for over twenty years for prototyping parts.
These parts already exist; would this not be patent infringement?

I don't think they exist with reinforced carbon fiber for add rigidity. As you can see in the pics the ones he replaced are cracked at one of the screw attachment points. The only replacement available are only plastic as well. So build a better mousetrap.....

So well done OP hopefully these last a while. Other them making them out of metal or billet adding a little strengthening material to them hopefully will have the desired end result.

Cool still would not work in my car; the roll-bar is in the way.

Carbon Fiber breaks easily.
Carbon Kevlar is much stronger.

What do test engineers know anyway. The "Point" is john its stronger than plastic alone.
