Cargo Cover Hook Clips - Etsy Link or DIY 3d Print

[ohmslaw]

I has been about 20 years since I've done any cad work; but since I now have access to 3d printers at my home I figured I would try to make a clip to fix the cargo cover clip in place. File attached if anyone else wants to give them a shot.

Edit: Etsy Link for those without 3d printers.

Thanks for sharing! There are several other models uploaded to the public. I myself have printed this one which has been useful: https://www.printables.com/model/168742-mustang-mach-e-shelf-clip

There was another that I found difficult to use: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5198253

Yeah, saw both of those and didn't like either design. The first one just felt like it would potentially fall off over time (using only two bumps for retention). The second I wasn't even quite sure how to use.

Also needed to start brushing off those cad skills for a future EV conversion.

Must be a Gen1 problem? Mine has never popped off.

Ordered!

On a separate note, I think we should draft an agreement as business partners. 5 cents royalties for the Etsy idea ha


In all seriousness much appreciated! The trunk cover is by far my least favorite part of the car.

Just a heads up for anyone ordering them in PLA. In high heat (above 122F) you might have issues with them melting or becoming disfigured.

I would recommend that if you want these and live in a very hot area that you have someone print them in Polycarbonate. Most 3D printers cannot print PC because it requires a 500F nozzle and 200F bed along with more expensive filament, but it's kinda required for this type of application. Carbon Fiber or Nylon would also be acceptable.

I've printed hundreds of radar detector mounts for the MachE and in my original testing (110F days) the PLA had major issues. I have a commercial grade machine so I printed my mounts in PC and never had an issue since.
