Folding slat camping table clip

cults3d

This is my first "thing" uploaded here. It's a replacement clip for a foldable camping table. The table is comprised of a number of aluminium slats held together by elastic, which folds up concertina-style and fits in the carry bag along with the tubular legs. The tabletop clips to two 19.5mm dia aluminium tubes via four of these clips. The tubes also connect the concertina legs assembly, once extended. Being only lightly screwed on, one of the clips was lost. This clip is a 'good-enough' facsimile and works well. The clip is attached to the outer slat with two self-tapping machine screws, the sort recovered from scrapping an old printer or other piece of e-waste. The design for this was originally done as a profile in QuickCAD then exported as a DXF to SolveSpace for some more mucking about then from there imported into OpenSCAD where the clip profile was extruded and the holes and locating pin added. I printed a prototype in natural PLA, made a slight adjustment to the mounting holes distance then ran off the finished one in black PLA. It has enough flexibility for the aluminium tube to snap in nicely and is quite strong enough for this purpose. UPDATE: I have added the profile DXF and OpenSCAD script so you can adjust it to suit your own circumstances if you like.
