Klick Fix Pannier Clips

prusaprinters

<h4>Materials tried</h4><ul><li>ABS. NOT USEFUL. AVOID. It has this horrible problem where the perimeters will split apart under load. This could result in your bag falling off when riding</li><li>PLA. Better than ABS, will support more load but fails pretty hard when it fails. I also don't trust it in the sun</li><li>PP it will not fail but it will flex a lot. It's the best material I've tried so far</li></ul><h4>Print settings / tips</h4><ul><li>.2 layer height - Important for skipping layers and in built support</li><li>Enough perimeters to ensure that the round of the clip hook is solid. 100% Infill will not work as well as being solid with perimeters</li><li>Not so many perimeters that the bridging for the clip clicker gets messy</li><li>I printed with a .6 nozzle but there should be no issues printing with a .4 nozzle</li><li>The models are provided in the intended printing orientation&nbsp;</li><li>No supports are needed, the clip is self supporting and the retainer has a built in support</li></ul><h4>Hardware needed</h4><p>I wanted to avoid using extra hardware but I could not. The screw which comes with the non locking clip has a nasty tendency to split printed layers apart. Using a nut and bolt has a clamping action that keeps the part together</p><ul><li>24mm M3 Bolt</li><li>M3 Nut</li></ul><h4>Mounting on Fiido T1</h4><p>Unfortunately there is nowhere near enough clearance between the wooden tail rest and the frame to allow these clips to work. I had to remove mine with a view to cut slots for the pannier to be mounted</p><h4>Other Bikes / Frame sizes</h4><p>I've included the step file and a link to the <a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/2a722bcc01a44d8147e58b8c/w/04c505eb19f88748470f510f/e/43bf8fb026d60118712b4d87">Onshape </a>document so it should be straightforward to make clips to suit your bike frame. The design is parameterized and the inner diameter can be adjusted to suit your bike. I can also render out parts to suit your frame if you drop a comment but I make no promises to be timely!</p>
