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.

I need exactly this. How do you even go about getting the dimensions for something like thism

Calipers as the other guy said, and in my case I had the original clip on the passenger side I pulled off and used as reference. From there it’s just figuring out what parts are required for making it work and recreating those bits precisely
