Description
This is a remix of the Bag Clip by Andrei. I love the design and in the spirit of over-engineering a bag clip, I added a hole for an M3 bolt and nut in place of the original's printed dowel.
It uses a standard 15mm long M3 bolt and M3 nut to reinforce the clip. The total length of the M3 bolt is 16mm (including the head).
I printed this with supports on the build plate only.
I created this because I have snapped at least three of the original clips when trying to close them. To repair the broken clips, I drilled out a hole for an M3 bolt and realized that I could just modify the original file with the necessary hole and save myself some extra steps.
I've included an updated file with “improved grip”. This moves the hole for the locking handle down slightly towards the clip, causing a stronger grip. It's perfect for cereal and chip bags. I recommend trying both! This updated file addresses feedback about clearance being too tight on my v1 version.
