3D Printable Rear Defroster Wire Protector

[Martindb]

I found this rear defroster wire protector on Amazon and used it as inspiration to create a 3D-printable version:

The model prints in two pieces, requires no supports, and attaches with automotive double-sided tape. I printed mine in PETG for better heat resistance.

If you'd like to print a set, you can download it for free here:

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Super cool wish I was computer savvy enough to use a printer

Simply put, just amazing work and great job on the 3D print!

One suggestion is perhaps have the edges a little more rounded. This might help deflect incidental contact and prevent damage perhaps. For example, when you are loading something big.

Secondly, a little bragging on my son. He dabbles in 3D printing and he made this Hulk Buster Iron Man. He did the 3D printing and a buddy did the painting.

BTW, I sent the file to my son and will have him make me a set of these. Thanks, for the post.

Hi Jim, that is a great job! Congratulations to your son!

About your suggestion, I've added an untested rounded version of the protector here:
