The title says it all. The super awesome Plant Clip from PeterZwegat is super awesome :) I like it a lot and printed many clips. There were two shortcomings however that were bothering me which led to this remix (will be explained below).
I loved the inner joint mechanism and tried to remodel it in OpenScad. I'm really excited that it works amazingly well. The idea with the spring mechanism to make it self-closing is really cute, but it didn't work with my strong tomato plants. An additional danger of the clip opening of the original was that there were very sharp edges that could hurt the plant when attaching the clip.
So, I needed something that really closes the clip, which is why I decided to build a simple locking mechanism, which made the spring obsolete.
UPDATE: old version (plug), new version with a different locking (snap), inspired by MatsErik: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4410413
That version worked pretty well and I was very happy with the results. With the model created in OpenScad I can now print various sizes. It is actually already configurable (radius, "wall size", joint size, height, etc.), but I'm embarassed with my coding, so until I cleaned it up, I won't share it :) Please let me know if I should support other sizes than what I currently published as STLs.
Next, there was another shortcoming of my remixed version. The clip did not really hold on the plant support. That's why I added the version with teeth! With this, the super awesome plant clip got even more awesome! :) It attaches now to any plant support and stays where you put it. Simply tilt the teeth a bit before attaching to the support.
It is ultra easy to print. Once the print is complete, just press the clip together and you're good to go. Enjoy it and thanks to PeterZwegat for his awesome work!
