[ Information ]A sister model of this “Split Ring” is available on the following page. “Oval Carabiner (7 sizes)” |
A removable ring that is harder to use than carabiners. But I wanted something sturdier with a simple shape, so I designed this.
[Easy-to-Print] ─ Larger tolerance. The end of the ring-line comes off easily.
[Hard-to-Print] ─ Smaller tolerance. The end of the ring-line can be held in place.
If the printed ring sticks together and does not open, try scaling up an Easy-to-Print model in a slicer app. (e.g. 120% or more)
This will increase the clearance between the inner and outer rings and make it even easier to print.
Brims/Rafts ─ Doesn't Matter
Supports ─ No
Open ─
This split ring does not open horizontally. To open it, shift the end of the outer ring-line vertically.
Close ─
There are notches on both ends of the ring-line to hold them in place. Therefore, the inner end needs to be fitted first to close the ring. The outer end should be fitted last.
Shape No.* ─ external dimension (and width of the ring-line)
