About this part

Back at it for another 300ZX part ! This is a Stud retainer for the 3rd brake light bar on a 1996 Nissan 300ZX. I was replacing the bar that was broken, really common problem on these, and ended up twisting the stud inside of the plastic retainer. Had to destroy the retainer to get the nut removed. Figured I would make one instead of ordering and waiting for another. There are only two of these on this part. I printed multiples in case I messed one up putting it back together. I did not need glue or anything to hold the stud in place as it was a really tight fit.
Printed without support by flipping the part on its end. Very little sagging due to the very short distance that needed bridged.Print settings were 3 shell, .2 layer height, no support, and 85% infill.
Let me know of any questions or concerns. Hope it helps =)
