Tesla Washer Hose Clip

thingiverse

This is an OpenSCAD (https://openscad.org/) script to create a replacement windshield washer hose clip for a 2018 Tesla Model 3. After 5 years in the Phoenix sun, the plastic clips that hold the washer hose in place on the wiper arm broke - causing the hose to flop around while driving. Unfortunately, Tesla only sells the entire wiper arm, not just the clips - which seemed a bit unnecessary. Small modifications to the parameters in the file can likely allow it to be used for other vehicles also. When printing, use a high-temperature, UV resistant filament like ABS or PETG. PLA won't stand up to the heat, at least in my corner of the world. I used a 0.4mm nozzle, with either a 0.2 or 0.3mm layer height. Use at least 2 perimeters, in which case there will be no infill. Feel free to print in matte black to match the wiper arm, or a color of your choice. KVP Voron Red ABS isn't a perfect match to my car, but it's close enough for me and adds just a bit of flair to the wipers.
