clothespin for railings (adjustable)

prusaprinters

<p><strong>General</strong></p><p>This clip was designed to pin clothes to a bar, such as a balcony railing. It is supposed to keep the clothes from being blown off on a windy day. <strong>The included .3mf file was designed for a tight fit of a 100mm railing, but you will want to modify it to fit your needs.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Slicing</strong></p><p>After you have determined the <strong>diameter</strong> of the railing you want to fit the clip too, import the 100m clip into your preferred slicer. Now you have to scale it according to the diameter you want: If your railing has a diameter of 42mm, scale the model <strong>IN X AND Y</strong> to 42% of the original size. You should be able to extrapolate this to your needs. The provided clip has a height of 5mm, you can scale that as well to achieve greater clamping strength.</p><p>Alternatively, you can use the provided .STEP or .f3d to modify the clip to your needs specifically.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Slicer Settings:</strong></p><p>Infill: 100%<br>Layer Height: 0.3mm<br>Perimeters: 3<br>Supports &amp; Brim: No</p><p>Notes: The DRAFT (0.3mm) preset in PrusaSlicer with 100% Infill and 3 perimeters is pretty much what you want. Using the Arachne engine led to minor underextrusion for me, so you might want to use to the classic engine instead.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printing Recommendations:</strong></p><p><strong>IMPORTANT: DON'T USE PLA OR ABS FOR PRINTING, AS IT WILL BECOME BRITTLE AND WARP IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.</strong></p><p>RECOMMENDED MATERIAL:<strong> </strong>PETG</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Happy printing! :)</p>
