Wire harness loop clips

Has anyone (Tom?) given any thought to 3D printing the plastic loop clips that hold the wire harness in place along the engine compartment and other areas? Like the blue and red ones? Thanks

Yes,
Awesome and thank you. Seems like they always break and I don’t have any around.
Thanks,
Lee

I made that one specific size because none of the factory ones seemed to be a good fit for the Kroon harness. You can scale it in your slicer if you need it bigger or smaller -- or let me know and I can adjust the model if needed. Be sure to use a filament that can take whatever heat it might see...

I saw when you made it you used Nylon-CF. Currently we have ABS and PET-G. I know ABS would give the temperature resistance (going in engine compartment). Not sure about PET-G. Thank you for the tip on scaling.

For where I used them, I was worried that even ABS (my go to filament) might melt/deform since it was so close to the turbo. If near the exhaust or mounted on the motor, I generally use something with higher temp limits....
