This is a retention clip for a fender, possibly other panels and parts, for Hondas or Acuras. It can be scaled as needed. I recently had a bumper issue and found myself cleaning out the local auto parts store of clips, which was only 2, and couldn’t wait the indeterminate amount of time for Amazon to fulfill my order so 3D printing to the temporary rescue! Honestly these cost next to nothing on amazon if you are in need and have the time to wait.
I printed the one shown on my Elegoo Mars with “ABS like” resin. I would recommend printing them on FDM with ABS or PETG, PETG would probably work best. I can’t speak to the longevity but on a Sunday when everything is closed they were good enough.
