Today, May 1st, we'll be looking at a design I made in On-Shape.

I spent the day iterating on a design for a replacement part for my partner's car.  The grommets (called 'Clips', 'Clamps', and 'Retainers', among other names), which lock her floormats to her car, had pulled through her mats leaving a hole too large for replacements from the OEM.

So we broke down the part to first principle and came up with a solution which is universal and easy to print.

This is my first stream so mind the bumps!
