Semi Flex Clasp Remix

thingiverse

The Semi Flex Clasp did not work out for me when I printed it with 95A TPU; even at 100% infill. Just seemed to flex too much when closed allowing the lid to lift slightly.I remixed the original clasp to allow non compliant materials for use. My remix changed the top wrap around clamp to a simple slip on. Now the clasp can be printed with hard materials like PLA or PETG.I then print my design with no top or bottom shells and Aligned infill in the 15-25% range. With no top or bottom shells the non compliant material is flexible enough to stretch and hold the lid tight.I suggest PETG as it is more flexible than PLA but this clasp uses very little material, about 6 - 10 grams, so please experiment!
