Sterilite Lid Clip

thingiverse

I picked up several Sterilite plastic storage bins featuring foam "seals" embedded in the lids. I utilize these along with desiccant as a filament storage "dry box". The bins I purchased have clips on the shorter ends that clamp the lid down and compress the foam seal quite effectively, but the foam requires some assistance to maintain its seal on the longer sides. I created new clips by revising the original design, which led to me constantly hurting my fingers when I used them. I re-engineered the clips to provide better results, shrinking and smoothing out a bit of excess material while extending their length to cover more area. Additionally, I added traction ridges that made it easier for me to install and remove the clips from the lid.
