Useful 3D Printable Models (Part 2) - Sunglasses Compartment Clip for Car Sun Visor

You probably know the situation well: you’re driving, and when you don’t need your sunglasses, you have no idea where to put them. Most cars don’t have a dedicated storage spot for them, so they end up in the glove compartment, on the seat, or in the cup holder — getting scratched, misplaced, and never being at hand when you actually need them.

This simple 3D-printed sunglasses holder provides the perfect solution. With one quick motion, you can clip it onto the sun visor, where it holds your sunglasses securely and keeps them easily accessible. It’s simple, elegant, and surprisingly effective.

Why we love this model

It’s easy to use — no screws, no glue, no fuss — yet it holds the sunglasses firmly in place. It doesn’t scratch or press them and keeps them secure even while driving.

What material should you print it from?

Since a car’s interior can easily heat up to over 50–60 °C in the summer, the choice of filament really matters. PLA, for example, tends to deform under such conditions, so we recommend printing this model from ABS. Why? Because ABS can withstand high temperatures up to around 100 °C, it’s flexible, impact-resistant, and durable — making it ideal for any part that will be exposed to sunlight or heat inside a car. It doesn’t soften, and it won’t warp.

Summary

This sunglasses holder is a perfect example of how a well-designed 3D-printed accessory doesn’t just replace an existing object — it improves everyday comfort. A small printed part that helps keep your car tidier, more comfortable, and just a little more elegant.
