ART MATBOARD CLIPS

Description

This is a very simple clip with a very specific purpose:   Artwork is often temporarily displayed in a mat board mount with no frame.   

These clips secure the mat (with a tape hinge at the top) and prevent the mat warping relative to the photo or artwork.

The clips are in two sizes, designed to be scaled in your slicer to suit the total size of your mount, (just select the one closest to the total thickness of the work and scale to suit)  and provide a very subtle solution to the problem.

I recommend printing in PETG to maintain a little spring in the clip, and slicing with Prusa Slicer V2.5 or later to take advantage of the better thin wall performance.  (The walls here are drawn at 0.7mm thick and work very well)
