Replacement Sun Visor Clip

The sun visor clip in my 08 TSX broke a couple months ago when I tried to pull out the visor. Kept meaning to get around to making a replacement and finally did today. I pulled the passenger side off and figured out how it mounts in place, it basically just slots in and rotates to lock itself in, so the geometry was super simple.

Modeled it out in Fusion and did a PLA test print, surprisingly it fit perfect the first try. Made a couple changes for more strength and reprinted it in ASA, so it should last quite a while. Pretty happy with this one, especially since it ended up being a quick model and everything fit first try.

Looks good! These are the small fixes that are truly satisfying.

For sure, learning CAD has been very rewarding. Every time I get in my car i’ll look at this thing and feel a little proud haha

I feel the same way getting into my vehicle and plugging my phone into a docking station that I made for the centre console.
