Bag Clip (Reinforced with M3 Bolt and Nut)

<p>This is a remix of the Bag Clip by Andrei. I love the design and in the spirit of over-engineering a bag clip, I added a hole for an M3 bolt and nut in place of the original's printed dowel.</p><p>It uses a standard 15mm long M3 bolt and M3 nut to reinforce the clip. The total length of the M3 bolt is 16mm (including the head).</p><p>I printed this with supports on the build plate only.</p><p>I created this because I have snapped at least three of the original clips when trying to close them. To repair the broken clips, I drilled out a hole for an M3 bolt and realized that I could just modify the original file with the necessary hole and save myself some extra steps.</p><p>I've included a file with “increased grip”. This moves the hole for the locking handle down slightly towards the clip, causing a much stronger grip. This does seem to stress the plastic a little bit around the bolt hole, but not enough to cause obvious deformation or breakage. I felt the original clip was too loose. Some may find this one a bit too tight, but I prefer it. I recommend trying both!</p>
