I enjoy printing chip clips and I'm always on the lookout for good ones. This one is very fun and relies on compliant mechanisms to work. I noticed that the original ABS version wasn't quite strong enough for thicker items to clamp on when printed in PETG. I re-enforced the pivot to be stronger to prevent it from popping out of the socket.

I also wished I could print in PLA. Since PLA is bad under stress (creep), I had an idea to just print the spring in PETG and that means you could print the body in PLA! I tried it out and it works great.

The spring should never be printed in PLA. Ideally you want to print in PETG.

If you just want the all in one, use PETG.

Tension will hold the spring in place firmly but I used Super glue to add the PETG spring to the PLA body. Works great.

Print with 2 perimeters.
