Hello you!
I drew up a little binder clip also called paper clamp that makes use of a rubber band to clip in documents, notes, drawings and so on in your workshop, office or at home.
The two parts of the clip are held together by one or several rubber bands - depending on what type you've got - and keep their position with little round indents that match on the front and rear part of the two clamp parts, no pins or machine screws required, super simple - very functional!
I'm uploading two types, A and B, each containing three slightly different versions.
is intended for printing on the short side of the clamp parts and will require a little bit of support material underneath the center axis of both parts. Suited for large amounts on one print bed. (labeled ‘support’ in folders)
requires no support material and is intended for printing with its large surface flat on to the print bed and is slightly altered in its design to accommodate for this. Better print bed adhesion. (labeled ‘flat’ in folders)
type tldr → for 2 types of printing with/without support, minor differences advantages/disadvantages
versions tldr → with/without a smiley face and/or hole for wall mounting.
Type | Version | smiley | hole | plain | print orientation |
A | |||||
V1 | yes | yes | no | vertical | |
V2 | no | yes | no | vertical | |
V3 | no | no | yes | vertical | |
B | |||||
V1 | yes | yes | no | horizontal | |
V2 | no | yes | no | horizontal | |
V3 | no | no | yes | horizontal |
hehe
If in further doubt: print version with the smiley to improve general workshop atmosphere and happiness.
You will require a rubber band.
You will require:
1x 5 or 6mm wall plug. (type may vary depending on your wall)
1x wood screw. (The chamfer on rear part will accept most 3.5 up to 5mm countersunk wood screws.)
Installation:
The clamps are of course reasonably scalable for smaller or larger versions. If you'd like to make a wider Version and keep the hole diameter for wall mounting you could add the correct diameter hole by simple adding a cylinder modifier in prusaslicer. (My design for these is not parametric as I drew them up a while ago so please refrain from asking for original files.)
TIP: You can combine the front clamp part of V3 with the rear of V2 to hide the screw when used for mounting on a wall.)
I did not include g-codes because: have fun slicing and fine-tuning - to each their own!
thanks! <3
oh and last but not least: common rubber bands aren't UV resistant so don't hold me accountable for loss of important documents!
