String-Fastened Bucket Clips

thingiverse

These are clips designed to be used with string or another flexible fastener. I employ them to apply tension to branches of plants, preventing them from growing too tall. The clips are positioned on the rim of the pot or bucket and held in place by the branch's natural tension. Two clips are attached to each end of a piece of string, secured with a knot that prevents the string ends from pulling through the clips. These versatile clips can likely be scaled up for use as wall clips, wire clips, or other general fasteners. I have not yet tested their breaking point, but if they're not sufficient for your needs, try increasing the infill to 100% or scaling them up accordingly.
