I latch that can clip to a car visor or any such edge, for the purpose of holding anything thinner than 10mm.

I've tried several versions of printed clips to hold sunglasses on my car's visors.  Even in more durable materials, I'm always disappointed with them after a few hot days.  I wanted a clasp that didn't rely on the mechanical or thermal properties of the plastic.

I printed this with ASA for durability and UV resistance.  I placed the objects on the build plate to maximize strength.  There are ways to minimize supports, but I think the durability is worth a little extra material and post processing. No brim is needed, but depending on your build plate, a glue stick might help.

Additional materials:

  • ¼" (6mm) sticky back foam or felt
  • 1/8" (3mm) metal rod
    • 1 @   1-3/16" (30mm)
    • 1 @   1.5" (37mm)
