Description
I made a variant with a date tag which you can find here.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I know there are a lot of nice bag clips here already, but I wasn't entirely happy with any of them, so I added another design. There are 6 sizes for clamping lengths of 55 mm, 65 mm, 75 mm, 90 mm, 120 mm and 150 mm.
My design goals were:
stability,
longevity,
high holding power,
easy operation,
no notoriously weak hinges,
easy printing,
and last but not least a pleasant appearance.
How to use:
As a rule, it is enough to bend the clip on the closure by a maximum of 1 cm in order to slide a bag between them or to remove a bag. It is not intended to bend the clip to larger angles. Bending too hard can cause the clip to break.
To open a locked clip, please use one of the two methods shown here:
Print settings:
First of all - a flexible material must be used, such as PETG. I haven't even tried printing clips with PLA since I don't think they will work for long (PLA permanently deforms under tension).
I also recommend:
line width 0.4 mm,
layer height 0.2 mm,
3 wall lines,
4 floor and ceiling layers each,
25% zigzag infill.
a z-seam positioned as in the print preview above.
