Round Compliant Clips

myminifactory

These little round clips, measuring 30mm wide, are a fun and functional example of compliant mechanisms that can be used to grip papers, bags, or any other item. The single part flexes to act as a reverse action gripper, making it easy to use. Printers can create these clips using PLA at 100% infill for optimal results. However, users should note that PLA may lose its clamping strength over time if left in the open position, especially when exposed to higher temperatures. ABS or ASA filaments could be suitable alternatives. Users who have successfully printed these clips with other materials are encouraged to leave a comment and share their experiences.
