Z32 300zx Hood Prop Clip

This is a hood-prop clip I modeled and printed for my 1993 Nissan 300zx.

I'd recommend printing it in ABS or some other higher temp material. I printed mine in PLA, but haven't had it in use long enough to stress test it. It does clip in place with a satisfying 'click'.

Update: It's been in use for a couple thousand miles and there does not appear to be any discernable wear or change in strength of this clip.

If you have any other recommendations for those hard-to-find, small, plastic z32 parts, lemme know. Maybe I'll model them next. 

Thanks fellow Z enthusiasts! Enjoy! Happy Printing!

Notes:

I printed mine in PLA, and haven't stress tested it. Probably a good idea to use ABS instead. Infill doesn't really matter since it's so small, but 100% would be good for longevity, I'd assume. I printed this on it's "back" with supports (touching buildplate only) beneath the lower clip strengthening support.
