2004~2006 Scion xB Hood Support Clamp Clip
Description
Bought another used 2006 Scion Toaster, and this one had a broken hood support rod clamp. Looked on eBay, cheapest replacement I saw was $35. I am not paying thirty five bucks for a part I can 3D print, haha. So, enjoy the fruits of my labor. This turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I measured everything as carefully as possible, but can't guarantee 100% accuracy, obviously. I also simplified a few elements. But it fits my microvan just fine. I would recommend (If you have a 'standard' 3D printer) that you use the longer filename that has the 08 in it, as that's the one I rotated to print structurally best. I printed using external support, and built an additional break-off piece at a 20 degree angle to the 'base' of this model. (Just to give it more "attachment" to the bed while printing) I also recommend using superglue to strengthen elements that might have a tendency to break / layer separate... Mostly the snap-in part that goes into the square hole in the vehicle. Depending on your printer & print settings, you may not need to, but I'd hate for this to snap off and fall. I'll probably put some fishing line on it as backup until I know for sure it isn't going anywhere...
