Description
Occasionally, I need to make display backing or surrounds with ½" PVC pipe frameworks and with cloths draped over the pipes. These clips help secure the cloths to the PVC frames, and they are easily removed. There are two sizes of these clips, Small for clipping on the pipes, and Large for clipping on the fittings/connectors. These specifically fit common "1/2" PVC pipes and fittings which are found in most hardware stores in the United States. The actual outside diameter of these pipes is ~21.29 mm or 0.84 inches. "½" refers to the internal diameter of the pipe. If a different clip is needed for different diameter pipes, or for thicker fabrics, these clips could easily be scaled in your slicing software to a desired size.
I printed these in PLA, 0.40mm nozzle, 0.20mm layer height, with 100% infill.
