Helper clip "Muraffe" with magnetic feet using clothespin spring

prusaprinters

<p>There are hundreds of PCB-holders and third-hand designs out there. Most of the designs are quite large and often complicated. I wanted to make a small, simple, and working tool to hold various items when soldering PCBs and similar items. I could not find one to my liking, so I quickly sketched my own. Using a single spring from a clothespin and two 10mm neodymium magnets, I developed a happy "Muraffe" holder who gets the job done.</p> <p>My "Muraffes" are printed with 0.3mm layer height with 20% infill with no supports. They turned out well and can take the forces of my quite strong spring well.</p> <p>10 x 2 mm Neodymium magnets are press fit on my printer's tolerances, and you may need to modify diameter to match your tolerances. Some clothespins have a different type of spring that will require modifications to the design. I attached the Fusion360 source design to make design changes as easy as possible.</p> <p>Remember, "Muraffe" is a herd animal and feels lonely as single. Print two of them to keep them happy.</p> <p>Feel free to use my Fusion360 source files to make it serve your needs.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>No supports needed. Make sure to slice them Muraffe laying on it's side. With these settings my Prusa I3 MK3S prints the whole thing in 38 minutes.</p>
