Tent C-clips

thingiverse

Tent C-clip designed to fit standard 8.5mm and 12mm tent pole. I made these to upgrade my backpacking tent or add guy lines. Most often used to repair or replace broken c-clips on standard tents. As shown in the pictures, the 12mm clips fit the bottom of my trekking poles for my thru-hiker tent, and the 8.5mm clips fit most regular tent poles. Sorry, no easy way to print. Must use support and brim/raft. If you rotate 90 degrees with open C facing up, it will be easy to print, but the C clip might be weaker because it would mostly rely on layer adhesion for strength. Rotate 90 degrees and print on its side will probably create a stronger clip, but lots of support required. UPDATE 5/1/2023: I added a new version of the clip that is easy to print and used for guy lines or paracord instead of webbing straps. Also, added 8.5mm and 12mm clips. UPDATE 5/3/2023: Added a version 3 with just a hole and easy to print. UPDATE 5/13/2023: Didn't realize these would be so popular, so I decided to clean up the models. Rounded the circles in all the 8.5mm models and added a v4, which clips two 8.5mm poles together. I will get to cleaning up and rounding the 12mm models, eventually. UPDATE 5/16/2023: Finally cleaned up all of the models.
