Bag Clip with Integrated Screw Cap

thingiverse

<blockquote>For when you want to access something without taking off the clip (cereal, grain, flour, coffee, etc.)</blockquote> <i>This is my take on the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3238736" target="_blank">idea</a> of a bag clip with a screw lid. The main benefit is that you don't need to take it off to get something out of the bag.</i> <div class="ThingPage__blockTitle--3ZdLu">Why do you want my version?</div> <ul><li>You don't need a third hand to put this on since the middle part is attached to the main hinge.</li> <li>The cap takes only 1/5 of a turn to screw/unscrew, and you can do it with one hand.</li> <li>The hinges are shared with my new <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/229538-print-in-place-bag-clip-2-parametric" target="_blank">Print-in-Place Bag Clip</a>, which is even more robust than the first one.</li> <li>No support, no post processing, no assembly. Just put it on a bag and screw the lid on.</li> <li>It prints in about 2 hours depending on the size.</li> <li>There are multiple sizes and a source file if you want to make your own.</li></ul> <div class="ThingPage__blockTitle--3ZdLu">How to print?</div> <ul><li>As with all bag clips, you can use PLA, but PETG will last longer.</li> <li>Make sure you have a clean and level bed</li> <li>Setting are included in the 3mf file (all standard, no support or brim needed)</li></ul> <div class="ThingPage__blockTitle--3ZdLu">How to use?</div> <ul><li>Let it cool after printing</li> <li>The hinges will be a bit stuck, this is normal. Trying to close the clip will free them.</li> <li>Open the arms all the way</li> <li>Insert the bag between the hinge and the middle part</li> <li>Put the bag around the middle and close the arms</li> <li>Close the latch</li> <li>Put on the lid</li></ul> <div class="ThingPage__blockTitle--3ZdLu">Need help?</div> I've made a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for all my bag clips.
