After I printed out a lot of Brandon's excellent track pieces, I noticed they moved around a little bit. So I quickly created this to clip the two pieces together and hold them tight.

Brandon's tracks can be found here. Give him a huge thanks for creating the track in the first place. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2004013 - Straight Track

The clip can be printed without support on its edge and with any infill you want. I printed about 40 of them to hold all the track together.

They might cause a slight wobble on hard floors, but have no issues on carpet. You could always use 2 clips to even out the sides to stop any wobble, if need be.

Post-Printing

Peel them off the print bed and push them onto the tracks. I find it easier to clip one end on first, and just press down on the other end and it snaps into place. Removing them is a little harder, and they might go flying, but they're not overly hard to remove.
