This is a printable replacement for a Subaru Impreza hood support rod end cap - or whatever you want to call the plastic part that fits into the hood slot when the rod is raised. This piece (white piece in picture) broke on our 2016 Impreza and Subaru seems to only sell the entire rod, not just the cap piece, so I decided to take a whack at modeling and printing a new one. I'm new to Fusion 360, so it took a few tries, but this one is working nicely for me. I'm not sure which other Subaru models/years this would work for, but there's not really much to it, so if it looks like the part in the picture, you can give it a shot! The part is pretty close to the original, though I did beef it up a bit in the area where the original one broke. I also set infill at 50% which might be overkill, but it seemed better to overbuild. You'll need to print with supports, and be sure to have your xacto handy to do some somewhat fiddly cleanup. I printed this using Prusament Galaxy Black PLA, mainly because it's all I have on hand, but let's face it, the engine compartment of a Subaru Impreza could use a little glittery bling, right?
