A 100% printable chip clip.

Settings for printing the Spring:

Print Material: PETG ONLY (this design relies on the semi flexible properties of PETG)

Infill Percent: 100% (this is a critical one)

Perimeters: 3

Layer Height: .2

Supports: NONE

Print orientation: Place the spring sideways against the build plate (refer to Prusa Slicer file for reference)

Settings for printing the Upper and Lower plates:

Print Material: PETG ONLY (this design relies on the semi flexible properties of PETG)

Infill Percent: 20%

Perimeters: 3

Top Layers: 5

Bottom Layers: 5

Layer Height: .2

Supports: NONE (there will be some bridging but any cleanup will be minimal)

Color Change: The model as shown was printed with a color change starting on the 4th layer to create the white+black combo. Print the Upper and Lower together without the Spring and add a layer change to get this look. The Prusa Slicer .3mf file does NOT have this color change in it.

Print orientation: (See Prusa Slicer file)

Assembly:

Make sure the bridging on the Upper and Lower portions was clean. If not, remove any stringing to ensure the Spring fits in.
