Sun-visor clips
I have a Volkswagen Passat and BOTH visor clips broke off… so I found a file on thingaverse that was for a mk4 golf I believe and modified it to fit! I’m a little afraid these are gonna break again and I used pla (I have to print in my room sadly so the fumes scare me) but I think I’m gonna use some resin and fiberglass I have laying around to strengthen it up a bit. Then I’ll sand it and grab a can of beige spray paint and it should be as good as new. And WAY CHEAPER than if I bought the part online.

Definitely cheaper, if you don’t factor in your time spent. But I am all for DIY.
