50mm PVC clip in Bracket

thingiverse

I created a custom clip system for my swimming pool pump house lid. The lid is constructed from 50mm PVC pipe topped with a tin roof sheeting. This system uses flexible clips that allow the 50mm pipe to snap into place while still providing sufficient support. I designed these clips using PLA and tested them successfully. Initially, I built oversized brackets which proved unnecessary for my application, so I redesigned the clips to be smaller and more material-efficient. To help others replicate this solution, I've uploaded a FreeCAD file featuring the medium bracket's design; unfortunately, in the process, I accidentally deleted the file for the larger clip model.
