Vinyl Siding Corner Clip EMT

thingiverse

This clip attaches to the vertical corner trim pieces found on vinyl siding, providing a secure connection for Christmas lighting. Its primary function is to attach 1/2" EMT conduit, allowing it to outline the house's vertical features with precision. The lights are then attached directly to the EMT conduit, which seamlessly clips into this design. Engineers have carefully crafted the EMT opening and placement to be slightly wider, enabling increased flexing of the clip during insertion or removal. This thoughtful design is particularly crucial in cold weather applications, where the clips become more brittle due to temperature fluctuations. In terms of aesthetics, the pixels are intentionally displaced from the true corner by a few inches, allowing for better flexibility when installing. This subtle design choice may seem minor at first glance, but it proves essential in colder climates where increased flexibility helps prevent unwanted clip failures. As a result, you won't notice any difference in appearance, even under close inspection. To ensure optimal performance and durability, we recommend printing this design with PETG material at 35% infill and 2 walls.
