Andersen Window Grille Clips

thingiverse

The clips that secure my old Andersen window's interior wood grill dividers have all been cracking after 30 years, but I'm not complaining. This is a replacement clip that performs well. However, I've struggled to produce transparent objects with transparent filament, so I opted for brown filament instead to match the color of the wood as closely as possible. Finding brown PETG has proven challenging, and PLA might be too brittle, prone to breaking down under UV exposure. The MakerGeeks "Bomber Jacket Brown" PETG was my only option, although it's a bit darker than I had hoped - more akin to Hershey's milk chocolate in color. Unfortunately, the filament arrived without any vacuum seal left in the bag and lacked desiccant, but after baking it out, it seems to be printing smoothly now.
