Futile #1 Paperclip (including Huge variant)

Designed in October 2020 when I was stuck in the house with little to do and too much to think about. Sized fairly accurately from a North American #1 size paperclip, even down to the wire gauge.

Then in January 2021, someone posted So I modeled and printed a giant paperclip, not sure what for or why... and I thought, hey that's a pretty big paperclip but let me show you areally large paperclip. At 800% the size of a #1 paperclip, itjust fits on the bed of a Prusa i3 Mk3s.

Useful for Clippy cosplay, if that's your jam. Not useful as a giant stuck-floppy-disk ejector tool. Even less useful as a giant roach pin.

Includes OpenSCAD source.
