Clip
Description
The clip was based on the clear clip in the images.
I have uploaded the UG NX6 design files in the zip file if anyone wishes to use them.
Instructions
After normal clean up the two clip halves should slide together and the spring slides between the two halves and over the middle.
If it is difficult to slide on you may need to use a knife to smooth the area where the spring slides over.

Anyone having any problems with the tabs breaking off?
Seeing there are right on the print line!
I've printed a few of these and the tolerances are too tight. I have to break out my dremel or razor knife just to get the parts to fit together. 1 or 1/2 more mm of space would probably make this thing so much easier to assemble.
how do i make this or buy this clip can anyone send me one for a example plaease e-mail me at mattb @nhssohio.com
D'oh! One of the tabs broke off! And I really CAN'T get the spring in...
The print came out quite oozy and bloby but that my friends... that's quite usual with bot1334 :-P
Once cleaned looks much better that in the

Very nice design, thanks!
This was great.
I had to file a bit to get the center pieces to interlock. But not a lot
Thanks
Are you printing in PLA or ABS? My print in ABS came out well, but the spring doesn't seem too excited... wondering if PLA is a bit stronger.
This is great, though. I love working pieces.
The rounded tabs that make up the axis seem to require really tight tolerances.
I'd widen those tabs and make some room for more slop in the printing.
It might be even better to make it asymmetric.
I might suggest:
##____## and ___## ___
instead of how it is now:
##__##__ and ##__##__
Really cool design!
It may just be my sparse infill settings, but the clip doesn't close all the way. I probably just need to print the spring filled 100%.

I printed a plate of six, they work pretty well. Sometimes it takes a little encouragement to get them to close all the way, I think this is just due to the layers locking together when they're lined up. An acetone vapor bath would probably help this, may test that later.
