Sock clip

prusaprinters

<p>Have you ever lost a sock when you washed it?<br>Do you have too many unpaired socks?<br>Do you spend too much time pairing socks when you do the laundry?</p><p>If you answered yes to any question you have come to the right place.</p><p>Print some clips to your socks today!</p><p>“When you undress, just put a clip on the used socks and throw them in the laundry basket. After washing, you can easily hang them up on the washing line until they are dry.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Printing</h3><p>I recommend printing the clip in PETG or other filaments with high heat deflection temperatures. (basically, something other than PLA).</p><p>PLA has a heat deflection temperature of around 50 ºC (122 ºF), and some washing machine cycles go to 60 ºC (140 ºF), melting the piece in the process.</p><p>PETG heat deflection temperature is around 80ºC so it's a better option for this use.</p><p>If you only use cold washing/up to 30 ºC, PLA should work as well.</p><p>Layer height can be set at 0.3mm and the infill to 100% (between the top and bottom layers, only a couple of infill layers remain, so setting the infill to 100% helps with the piece resistance).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Credits</h3><p>I enjoyed <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/MAXimator">MAXimator</a>'s design but wanted to try a tighter version for smaller socks.</p><p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2199791">Sock Clip for washing &amp; drying</a> by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/MAXimator">MAXimator</a></p><p>https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2199791</p>
