Description
IKEA’s ubiquitous food clips are perpetually misplaced, a predicament ideally suited for 3D printing solutions
This clip boasts a redesigned structure optimized for 3D printing, maximizing filament efficiency
The small clip requires a mere 7g of filament, while the large one consumes less than 14g
I've also included an oversized clip design leveraging diagonal space maximization; download it if needed for securing larger bags of flour or rice
Printing Notes:
- PLA printing is feasible, though testing reveals inferior strength compared to PETG; PETG is strongly recommended
- ABS also demonstrates insufficient strength; PETG remains the preferred choice
2024-11-27 Update:
- Following user feedback regarding hinge fragility, a reinforced hinge version has been implemented
- Chamfers have been optimized for enhanced smoothness and tactile appeal
2024-12-02 Update:
- Version 3 clasp thickness has been increased, with testing encompassing PETG, PLA, PLA+, PLA silk, and PLA Matte; only PETG and PLA+ proved consistently reliable
- PETG and PLA+ are recommended; other materials may result in clasp breakage
2024-12-24 Update:
- Version 4 clasp angle has been refined, with further material testing; this iteration prevents PLA clasp breakage, though strength remains inadequate for thicker items
- PETG and PLA+ remain the optimal materials
2025-01-08 Edit:
- Given user reports of ABS brittleness, ABS is discouraged; included are my PETG clasp testing results
