Description

these clips come in 3 types
'L' clips and 'T' clips and 'X' clips.
The 'L' clips are for corners, 'T' clips are for 2 walls and a perpendicular wall 'X' for 4 way connections.
they are made to mount on edges of cardboard and build box like structures.


This version was modeled in truespace 3.2



they work best with cardboard that is as thick as what is found on most writing pads. of course you can size them down or up as you desire to work better with thinner or thicker cards

Instructions

the smaller stl file 4x2 is 4 L and 2 T clips

the larger file 40x20 makes 40 L and 20 T clips

clip6x.cob has 6 'X' style clips

they are best printed without a raft.
no support is needed

The g-code was for a single extruder replicator created with replicatorG
slicing the clip40x20 took a long time, but it prints ok

if you use a modern version of slic3r, you can just multiply stls without increasing slicing time, cool, can't wait to print :)

yes I will be posting some other arraingments of the clips for

those who want more to use multiply

I'd love to see a version of these that have a hinge... it would allow you to make lots of fun non-90-degree connections.

That's a interesting idea, I think it would be printable with the hinge incorporated into it.
