This is a part of an in-development collection of Diabetic Tools, which you can find here

 

If you have an insulin pump, you know the experience of snagging your tube or dropping your pump and the pain (and sometimes set changes) it causes. This little clip can be attached to a pocket or belt loop to wrangle the tube. If you do snag your tube the clip will prevent or reduce tugging on your infusion site.

 

This clip could also be used to manage wires for things like lavaliere microphones, up to 2mm in diameter.

 

Simply route the tube / wire through the channel and put the cover on.

 

I find that the PETG clip is more flexible. If you need a stiffer clip PLA works fine, but it's not my preference. 

 

Originally modeled in BricsCAD, and the .dwg is available for download. Commercial use is allowed. My goal here is to provide a useful tool for all T1s, and I don't want to create any impediments to that. 

 

Please feel to share how you feel this could be improved, or other ideas to help Type 1s. 

 

2025 Feb 26 Update! -  A new version is released. This versions tightens the teeth up quite so it hangs on a bit better as the clip ages. I've rounded out some of the edges to make it a bit more comfortable if presses against your skin, and most importantly I've updated the closure mechanism so that it's less likely to come off by accident. I've left V1 up for those who find they prefer it.

great clip, tends to fall off. with a better way to fasten lid it would be even better. Update: printed new version and clip sits snugly and stays in place

Replying to @Zwiffs :
Let me know how it turns out. I only have my printer, so I can't be sure how it will work with the tolerances on others. I intend to keep developing it until it's a worthy addition to every T1D's kit.

Printed with Elegoo PETG and turned out excellent. Printed a bunch for a family member with a pump and they tell me it’s been very helpful.

Unfortunately, I had many problems with the print, so I had to rotate a part and print with more brim

try cleaning your nozzle. if there is debris on it then when the machine probes it will have the wrong z-offset. if that doesn’t help, try calibrating your z-offset

does it squish your cord ?

It is designed for tubes under 2mm (Tandem and Medtronic are verified to be less than this). It will not squish those tubes. It uses friction to keep it in place.

Print came out nicely. I'm not sure it fits as I printed it for a college. Thank you and I hope it will help him
