Clothespin Note/Bill Holder

Make two TEST CLOTHESPIN pieces to ensure your clothespin springs work correctly, as mine initially failed and required adjustments. I used MatthewSt's Heart Clothespin design from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:48267). I took the half without the heart shape and modified it into a basic clothespin, which later needed editing to fit my specific springs. Is this considered a REMIX of the original design? To enhance functionality, I added teeth to each piece, allowing them to mesh together for improved grip. Then, I created the three-pin lower piece, designed to work in conjunction with the upper pieces. This design is intended to be attached to a dry-erase wall using 3M Command Strips (Medium Refill Strips, 9MM, Size 3 lb / 1.3 kg). My springs originated from Mainstays brand wooden clothespins available at Walmart. Design specifications include creation in Tinkercad, with suggested layer settings of .15mm for optimal results and 75% infill density. A wall thickness of 1.2 mm is recommended, while support may or may not be necessary due to the narrow slot being bridged. If you choose to create a version with screw holes, consider increasing the wall thickness around these areas for added strength. I personally printed only the design featuring Command Strips.
