prusaprinters

I was looking for clips to secure the lids on some of my IKEA Samla boxes and came across many, including this one by Canislupus. I really liked the idea of the design but there were a couple of things I wanted to change so I remodelled it.First things first I lowered the profile slightly, so while it will still clip over 3mm rubber foam seals, it also will hold the lid tightly on an unsealed boxSecondly, as I remodelled it i was able to parameterise it somewhat, which meant after some measurements and test prints, I dialled in both a 45L/60L version and a 5L/11L/22L version of the design.These clips can be glued into the lip of the box so they don't fall out and get lost or stepped on when  opening your containers These clips are designed to be printed supportless on their side. At 0.2mm layer height (all in photos are 0.2mm) the print time is ~30-35 minutes with fairly stadard print settings. The hinges will be a little stiff straight off the build plate, but with a little force and working the hinge loosens up sufficiently. I have included the f3d files (Fusion 360) in this make so if you wish to make changes yourself, or change the parameters for the larger size, loosen the hinge, etc. be my guest
