Crocz... Crocodile Clips / Clamps / Pegs with Moving Jaws

thingiverse

Crocz have moving jaws that bite with great force, perfect for clips, pegs, or just having fun. This is a quick and easy print to get right. Two versions are available: one without any support design and another with designed-in support where necessary. (1) The 'Crocz' file version has legs that stick out on the sides, so there's built-in support for this part that should come off easily after printing, freeing the jaws to start snapping again. (2) The alternative 'Crocz - no support' file has flat sides with recesses to show where the legs are. This will print faster and is the better option if you're concerned about the designed-in support not coming out right for you. (3) Some people asked for a version of Crocz with legs (requiring support for those legs), but without any built-in support, so this has been added. However, only use this if you have experience adding your own support. Automated support can create support that will stop the jaws from moving and be difficult to remove. My advice is to stick with the designed-in support – it often surprises people by working well! Check out the instructions and images for more print information. Also, look at my other similar designs: 'Bugz', found here; 'Minisaurs', located here; 'Z-REX', available here; 'Ratz', accessible through this link; 'Woodpeckerz', check it out; 'Sharkz', visit this site; 'Eaglez', explore this design; 'Catz', discover more about this thing; and 'Scorpionz', found on Thingiverse.

However, I live outside the USA, so tips cannot be sent via PayPal.Me since that service isn't supported in my region – this is beyond Thingiverse's control.
