Description
The photo shows the original clip on the left, the reproduction, and an installed reproduction clip.
Note that you should print this with a 0.25mm nozzle using high quality settings on your slicer.
The model was made using SAE measurements, so it may need to be converted to metric for your slicer (2540%). Orca senses this and changes the measurements with a click on a dialog box.
Ensure the clip is locked in place by pressing firmly on each side of the base with a small screw driver.
A 0.25 nozzle recommended. The factory part has recesses that do not seem functional so I did not add them to the model. Perhaps they were added to reduce production costs.
I used three approaches to design this part. The first was to take zoomed photos from the top and sides. I used precision calipers to make measurements. It took about 20 iterations to get the fit working in the 100 micron, 0.1mm, 1/256 in. zone. It is my first attempt at a small part.
