About this model

I drive a 2013 Chevy Sonic. This part sits under the hood and secures the rod which props open the car hood when the rod is not in use. The two images of the black part are of the clip that was originally under the hood. One side of the clip had broke. So when I had measured and drawn it, I just mirrored the dimensions. The first attempt was a gray PLA filament. As you may imagine it was too rigid and broke on the first attempt of clipping it to the rod. I would recommend using at least ABS or anything more flexible.
