Hi, I’ve reviewed your reference photos and this is a clean reverse engineering job — a snap-fit plastic clip with a C-profile, top eyelet slot, and smooth internal radii. Exactly the type of part I model regularly. What I’ll deliver: STEP/STP file (manufacturing-ready) STL file (watertight, print-ready) Native source file (Fusion 360 or SolidWorks — your choice) All dimensions matched to your photo references and ruler measurements My approach: I’ll use your multi-angle photos to reconstruct the geometry — mapping the C-profile sweep, wall thickness (~2–3mm), inner diameter (~35–40mm), eyelet slot, and snap-fit geometry. I’ll cross-check every critical dimension against your ruler references before finalizing. No guessing, no rough approximations. Software: Fusion 360 / SolidWorks Pricing: 80 – 80– 120 Timeline: 24–48 hours after confirming the brief Two quick questions: Is there a specific wall thickness you want locked in (2mm vs 3mm matters for snap-fit flex)? Will this be printed in PLA, PETG, or a flexible material — affects how I model the snap geometry? I’ve worked on optics accessories, automotive clips, and injection-molded snap-fit parts. This one is straightforward given the clean geometry in your photos. Ready to start immediately. Best regards
