Description

I like re-usable cable ties and thought why not realizing it with flexible Filament. This result turned out to be able to have even a bit of the satisfying click when zipping tight..

I started wtih 0.6mm nozzle/ 0.4 layer hight perimeter in mind (fast @ larger scale), so the base construction is kind of bold. Scaling for 0.4 nozzle is 2/3, tried that and it printed great (the transparent version). So I uploaded both scales the orig for (up to) 0.6nozzle and the down scaled for maximum 0.4mm nozzle.
4 lengths of each, ready to slice.

Additionally attached the fusion360 construction file, what's maybe not the most elegant construction, however you can tweak the length easily by parameters, I faved and commented the 2 entries (modify > change parameters).
I did the down-scaling in Meshmixer but 67% in slicer works the same.

The pictures show the following versions
transparent: xshort 0.4nozzle
white: long 0.6nozzle
black: long 0.6nozzle stl but actually sliced and printed with 0.4mm nozzle
