Working on making an assortment of wiring clips

[shittyslant6]

A lot of the wiring harness hold downs and clips available look like ****; mainly the metal loops with rubber on them, I decided to try and make some better looking ones that are also way stronger than the thin nylon loop ones as well.

Just as a start I made these up in a couple hours this morning, they should be scalable to fit many different sizes but they print with a 5/16 hole and they're about an inch long.

Are you making any to replace the push-in plastic style, same as what's on inner fenders? Ones pictured look great!

I refined the clips yesterday; made them a little more round so they're stronger and I flattened the tops of them off so they're shorter.

Does anyone have a close up of the inner fender headlight wiring hold-downs? I'm trying to make a replacement and all the ones on my car were broken

I think these will work pretty well.

Well done, those are sturdy!

Decided to go all out with making some better looking clips for things like fuel and brake lines run along frame rails and such.

I started out with the 3 hole square one; and it worked alright but as you can see in the picture it warps after two or three times being clipped onto lines. After a few more iterations I have the second 4 hole one that will hold a 3/8, 5/16, 1/4, and a 3/16 line. this one is way stronger but it still bends a little and the steps on the slope look bad. On the 10th iteration, I made the whole thing a little taller so it won't bend as much and can be unclipped a lot more. Still not the best design; but I think it'll work a whole lot better in nylon instead of PLA.
