Description

Every Boost boosts my mood. :-) And it encourages me to keep designing.
Suprisingly strong fully parametric snap hook.
Recommended parameter values:
- LENGTH should be double the width or at minimum width+4*thickness
- practical WIDTH is at least 5*thickness, a bit lower values are possible, but impractical
- smallest THICKNESS that I was able to successfully print was 3mm, but 5mm and more is recommended
- GAP should be around the same as your print line width (usually 0.4mm), but 0.36 worked the best
Print it in PET-G!
(Some smaller sizes work with some brands of PLA, but generally it's not a good idea.)
This is the stronger and easier to print version with octagonal profile, but I'm uploading a version with circle profile here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/771640 But once again - this version is better for 3D printing.
DISCLAIMER: The snap rings are quite strong but under no circumstances they should be used for climbing activities, securing people or anything valuable. It's still only a plastic print.
