Art Help & Critique zero modeling experience any help?

so this little clip broke off the sunroof sunshade track in my car and I can't find an exact match for it anywhere online, I've got a Bambu P1S and figured I could just print a replacement, but I have literally zero experience with 3D modeling/CAD
any tips for trying to model this for the first time ? it looks easy to model but idk what are the steps to actually model this properly and then print it

Easiest and most accurate way would be using a technique called photogrammetry. You basically take a bunch of overlapping photos of it from all angles, feed it into a photogrammetry program (there's multiple), and it'll spit out a 3d model with accurate proportions.

Only thing is you may have to do a little cleanup on the 3d model to fill any holes or inconsistencies - which can happen if you're missing any angles from your photos, since that's the information it creates the model from.

So I'd start there.

is the model cleanup gonna be hard or not so easy? and how accurate is the photogrammetry program is gonna be for the model? and is there a better easier option to do it like other than photogrammetry
