This is a replacement visor clip for a 2022 Audi A5 Quattro. It's possible that it might also work for other models or other model years. However, the only vehicle this has been tested on is the 2022 Audi A5 Quattro.
In addition to the printed parts, the following materials are required.
Super glue: required to adhere the individually printed parts together
Clip cover: recovered from the existing visor clip
Metal spring: recovered from the existing visor clip
Small screw driver: required to remove the existing clip from the car
This part forms the base of the clip. All other parts, including the clip cover and metal spring, attach to this.
The car's visor snaps into the space between this and the metal spring.
These, along with the clip cover, secure the clip to the roof of the car.
An FDM printer is recommended. Resin printed parts might not have the tensile strength necessary for the clip to function as designed.
All parts should be printed with ABS, or an equally strong material.
Two perimeters and four top/bottom layers should be used.
The base and legs should be printed with 0.2mm layer height. The hook is the only part visible once installed and should therefore be printed at the smallest layer height the printer supports.
The base and legs should be printed with 15% infill. The hook should be printed with 70% infill.
The large and small legs already have supports necessary to print. No additional supports are required.
This model has been designed to provide some resilience to elephant foot. However, if the printer introduces significant elephant foot, the parts may not fit together without filing or cutting away excess material. It is highly recommended that elephant foot compensation be set to a large enough value to completely eliminate all elephant foot.
The hook should have its top layer ironed to ensure the best possible appearance.
The parts should be oriented on the print bed as shown in the image below. This orientation is required to ensure that layer lines run in the correct direction, and details are printed in sufficiently high resolution, for the clip to function as designed.
To recover the clip cover and the metal spring, remove the existing clip from the car.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
