Description

🔗 UltraLock Zip Ties - 3D Print Optimized! Perfect for secure & strong fastening. 🔧💪

Printing Instructions

Material: Use PETG for best strength and durability. This model is optimized for PETG to ensure top performance and quality.
Perimeters (Walls): Print with 6 perimeters from the first to the last layer for enhanced durability.
Perimeter Generator: Use the "Arachne" perimeter generator for optimal results.
Layer Heights: For 3mm and 4mm widths, print with layers of 0.16mm (first layer at 0.2mm). For the 5mm width, use a layer height of 0.2mm.
Filament Dryness: For precision prints like this, every detail counts—including the condition of your filament. Make sure your PETG filament is dry before printing. In my tests, what seemed like a brand-specific issue with the zip tie disintegrating between layers was resolved simply by drying the filament, dramatically improving the strength and functionality of the printed ties.

It's amazing that it works so well. I wouldn't print 100 of them, as they are already very cheap at retail. But if you don't have any at home and only need a few, then this model might be a lifesaver :)

@jajaum3d

Thank you for your great feedback! You've perfectly captured the essence of this design—it's all about convenience and customizability. While it's true that retail zip ties are inexpensive, being able to print a few on-demand for specific needs or emergencies can indeed be a lifesaver. I'm glad you found the model useful, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! 😊

and also the color I need! I love the idea 👌

Tested with PLA. Unfortunately it doesn't work.

@jajaum3d

While PETG is the recommended material for optimal performance, if you must use PLA, the 4mm version might work better due to its thinner and more flexible nature. However, please allow the print to cool completely before removing it from the bed to avoid breakage—using PLA is not ideal and should be considered a temporary solution.

very useful… fast print.. printed a lot with TPU… truely reusable…

@danbo

so bed

@jajaum3d

I'm sorry to see the issue in your photo. It appears to be due to filament moisture. In my tests, what initially seemed like a brand-specific problem with the zip ties disintegrating between layers—just like in your picture—was effectively resolved by drying the filament. This significantly improved both the strength and functionality of the printed ties. For precision prints like this, every detail truly counts.

@3d_rocks

how long did you dry the filament?

(Edited)

@jajaum3d

Replying to @3d_rocks :

Thank you for the great question! Drying time can vary depending on the current state of your filament. Typically, for PETG, most filament dryers recommend around 6 hours, but it really depends on how much moisture the filament has absorbed. One useful tip is to open and close the dryer's box after 1 or 2 hours to let the humid air escape, which can improve drying efficiency. The photo shared does suggest moisture could be the issue. However, it's also worth checking if there might be a partially clogged nozzle or if the flow calibration is set too low, as both can produce similar issues in the print. If you're interested, here's a video that reviews various filament dryers and offers some great insights. I hope this helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VB-pEvSed4

Very nice! PETG works well for this model due to it's moderate fatigue resistance. You do have to be mindful of the bend radius created because creases can form. PETG is still pretty rigid. This issue could possibly be resolved by reducing the thickness of the band to improve flexibility but the tradeoff may be a reduction in strength. Nylon would likely be the best suited material for this part but PETG is a great substitute every 3D printer enthusiast can use. Works great! Thank you jajaum3d.

I was thinking maybe TPU 95a with a solid infill pattern?
