Nissan X-Trail hood support fastening clip

As with everyone with a little bit older Japanese car, the fastener for the hood support was broken on my 2006 X-Trail T30. So why not model it and make a print?

This part is not 100% same as the original. I placed the V-shaped clip on the edge instead of in the middle. This way it is easier to print because you do not need supports.

Notes:

I used PC MAX filament for maximum strength. Printing temperature 280 C.rnrnPlease use an elastic and durable material for this part because it needs to tolerate lots of wear and tear.

Post-Printing

Remove the old clip and pop this is place. I helped the clips by pushing with a screw driver.
