Zip Tie Anchor Clip (Through-Body)

thingiverse

Now by popular demand, I'm introducing the #8 and #10 versions. A simple clip that takes two #6 screws has a curved cavity through which you can easily shove a zip tie. Most zip ties up to 30kg in size should work; the zip ties I use are 11" long and rated for 70lb, fitting perfectly. The cavity is 2mm deep and 6mm wide - in practice, you won't want to try shoving anything more than 1.5mm thick through it. I imagine this clip is quite strong but have no means of testing its strength. Print it on its back with no support. If you can't bridge 6mm, look here or here to learn how to do this cleanly. I recommend printing at 0.1mm layer height; if you print at 0.2, you'll further reduce the vertical clearance in the hole. Hole-to-hole spacing is 28.1mm (1.1"), and total width is 38.1mm (1-1/2" by design). *#8 Version: 42mm total length* *#10 Version: 49.5mm total length*
