Reusable Zip-Tie XL (PETG!)

thingiverse

A fantastic adaptable zip-tie with excellent flexibility. The latch, body, and end piece models are provided so you can build it out to a custom length, likely even within any slicer software. Note that PETG is (probably) the best filament to use as it is quite flexible when thin and flat, yet strong and rigid when condensed into a more substantial shape. I adore the original design, but had problems with consistency because the original model was so small. So I made some improvements to "Mr. C's multi-reusable zip tie": - Scaled up the model to get the body of the zip-tie 1mm high, resulting in greater strength, resilience, and consistency without sacrificing much flexibility - It is also about 2mm wider - Adapted the overall length of the zip-tie to take nearly full advantage of a print bed's diagonal length (Ender 3 Pro, total zip-tie length is approximately 256mm) - Solved issue: The latch fitting on the original would often be too tight or, sometimes, too loose - Solved issue: The latch squares on the original body were inconsistent in size and/or spacing
