Glasses Pocket Clip

Boost Me

A simple, small, pocket clip to hang your glasses, safety glasses, or sunglasses from. Would also work great on a shirt pocket!

 

I've included two versions of the clip:

The first (pictured) is a more discrete wireframe type design and as such is more fragile. I would recommend printing this one in the upright position with PETG.

 

The second clip has a solid clip design and is more suited for PLA. Print this one on its side for better strength.

 

Support: Neither of the models need support but if you want the edges more defined on the glasses when printing upright I would recommend adding tree supports (my 3MF already has them configured). Also, the wireframe design could be printed on its side for better strength and possibly in PLA but you will need supports.

 

I created this clip after a co-worker came to work one day with his safety glasses hanging from a clip on his shirt pocket. When I asked him about it, he showed me that it was a magnetic clip that he found online. Immediately I thought, “I could 3D print that!” A quick search, and I found that someone made their own 3D printed version of the magnetic clip but I didn't like that no matter how strong the magnet connection, the clip could let loose fairly easily, letting your glasses fall to the ground. So I made this! I have always hung my sunglasses from my pants pocket when not wearing them and now I can continue doing so but with greater ease and better access to whatever else I have in my pocket.
