<p>This thing makes it possible to fix a tarp (or another element such as a solar shower) on a Volkwagen California.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><ul> <li>The hook and the plate are printed using a strong filament (PETG with Carbon) with 100% infill</li> <li>The sole is printed using a flex filament (TPU 98a) with 100% infill; You can also use the same strong filament as for the hook</li> <li>The button is printed using Prusament PETG filament with 15% infill.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <h3>1 - Requirements</h3><p>You will need: - The four printed parts - A 20mm M5 bolt with hexagon head - An M5 insert (I use the ruthex variant) - Some strong glue - A soldering iron <img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/thumbs/inside/1280x960/media/prints/31723/images/312637_7a712c17-9c5c-4062-8691-1582d3276cd0/20200511_230945.jpg" width="500"/></p><p><br/></p> <h3>2 - Glue</h3><p>Glue together the hook and the sole on their respective flat face. Use a strong glue (I used "Pattex Extreme Repair"). Use the bolt to help you center both parts properly. Use clamps to maintain pressure. <img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/thumbs/inside/1280x960/media/prints/31723/images/312638_4f895058-117b-4187-82a0-4b143695a5c7/20200511_233146.jpg" width="500"/></p><p><br/></p> <h3>3 - Insert</h3><p>Introduce the insert into the button using a soldering iron. <img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/thumbs/inside/1280x960/media/prints/31723/images/312639_6ffc4152-5e63-41b6-9f56-500e6d4ad111/20200511_233326.jpg" width="500"/></p><p><br/></p> <h3>4 - Assemble</h3><p>Assemble all the parts together. <img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/thumbs/inside/1280x960/media/prints/31723/images/312640_712d444e-9dac-48af-ac13-ee9b15e022a0/20200511_233540.jpg" width="500"/></p>
