2020 Cable Clip (Remix - Thicker and Tighter Hold) by PetrichorXFi

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

*Edit: Found an issue with original clip. If bent outward it can snap in half at upper area. Created new test clip (printed one copy myself, with the updated stl as well as very specific print settings it seems very stable now). Feel free to let me know how it works for you... I have attached images of my Slic3r PE settings used on new version of clip.
This is a remix of the "2020_CableClip_L" from the "2020 extrusions - cable clip collection" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:832279
Why Remix?
Grip (Vertical) - Original would slide to bottom of vertical bar every time. This new one holds on very well
"Clip-on" grip - Original did not "clip" to the 2020 extrusion itself very strongly - You would have 1 of 2 clips hold on, but 2nd was always hard to clip (this new one... you can hear an audible "click" when it holds on, and does so VERY securely
Strength - Original was to weak for my taste
This remixed version was actually made from scratch using 2020 dimensions to create very tight tolerances, however it was inspired by the ""2020_CableClip_L" from the "2020 extrusions - cable clip collection", thus I feel it only fair to consider it a remix.
Print settings:
Printer: Ender 4
Layer Height 0.2mm
Perimeters: 2
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Solid top/bot layers: 3
Infill: 30% Gyroid
*Note: Do not have infill % to high else the clip will be VERY hard to bend enough to clip onto the 2020 extrusion. I designed it so that around 20-40% infill you can clip it fairly easily, and with a little work you can also pull it off without breaking it.
Please note that this does hold on VERY well. So if you have a hard time getting it off, you can use needle nosed pliers if needed.
Lastly, I have made a few tweaks to this and have a few small variations, but this is the one that is most stable and of "thingiverse" quality. However if you want a specific tweak please let me know.
