Summary

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 3 sizes for clamping lengths of 65 mm, 90 mm and 120 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.
