Description

This print-in-place locking bag clip has been designed so that it can be printed without supports, has a fun curvy shape, uses an outward angled handle for easier one-handed use, and is a nice size at just under 6 cm when closed.

I'd recommend you set the “Strength→ Wall Loops" option to at least 5 for increased strength. In addition to the STL, I'm also attaching the Fusion360 file if you'd like to make adjustments.

 

The original “Cam Lock Bag Clip.stl” (which I'd still recommend you start with if you're printing in PLA) is designed with a .2 mm tolerance around the pivot joints. If you have trouble with the plastic fusing in your print conditions though or are printing in other materials - such as PETG, I've now also attached two versions that increase the spacing tolerance slightly (.3 mm and .4 mm) which you could use as an alternative.

 

This is a complete from-scratch design, but there are many great cam locking clips. Although notably different, I've marked this model as a remix of the very cool model that ‘jfedor’ did which used a similar approach for making a clip printable without requiring supports (which itself was a remix of Andrei's popular version that does require supports).

Yep, printed it straight form the Bambu SD-Card. For its (BIG!) Size its not sturdy. 0,83mm Thikness and much Air inside. Wont even hold a chips bag together. Sorry but this is a flaw by design.

I'm printing PLA with a 0.3mm toleranc. However, it always cracks at the joint. What am I doing wrong?

Well, that is interesting! Yeah, it looks like your printer didn't quite finish printing the last few layers at the top of the print. Do you recall if it looked ok in the slicer, or did you print this through the BambuHandy app? If so, maybe the printer just ran into an intermittent error code of some sort during the print and decided to stop, and if so a second try would probably work.

works great, but 6 walls is probably a waste of filament. also seems the top layer has some odd gcode that leaves a few dots on the top

Looking great, and thanks for sharing your make! The 6 walls in the default profile is to ensure good strength all the way through the hinge/pivot shaft, which is particularly helpful when printing with PLA. With something like PETG, you'd probably be fine with a lower count. Also, because of this model's shape & size, the difference between say 4 walls and 6 walls is only about 4 grams of filament - so I have the default profile set at 6 just to make sure folks get a good strong clip. Thanks again for posting your make. I love the set of three at once, and they came out looking really nice. :-)

6 walls with 25% infill is probably way overkill, otherwise good

Really great design, and printed beautifully! I wouldn't recommend using PLA however, as mine cracked around one of the hinges a bit when trying to clamp a larger bag. Still functions though!

Benissimo in petg, lo sto usando da un po' e non si è rotto (il primo in pla si). Penso che ne stamperò altri.
