Marker paperclip

thingiverse

This is a very thin paperclip that you put on an edge of a page in order to mark a particular row. I've made this as the similar things I could get in stores were too thick to allow for comfortable writing on pages ending up on top of the one with the clip. Mine is just ~0.5mm thick, and works really well in a notebook. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 40µm Infill: 70% Notes: I had to reprint a couple of those after a while - and realised that I've lost my printer settings for this print, and I can't get an object of decent quality. After reverse-engineering those settings, I'm now including a .gcode file that you can use to load the settings from. In short: layer height: 0.04mm, shell thickness: 0.4mm, bottom/top thickness: 0.08mm, infill before perimeters, fill density: 70%, initial layer thickness: 0.12mm, all print speeds: 20mm/s, travel speed: 40mm/s. Sorry for a blob of text, but looks like Thingiverse screws up formatting for lists in this field :( This object is rather thin, and with default settings of Cura slicer you'll end up with just 1-2 layers, which doesn't give you an useful object. I was printing this on an Ultimaker2 - I believe that having a heated print bed allowed me to use very thin initial layer. The low speed is necessary to avoid ripping off the deposited strands. As usual, YMMV. Post-Printing You probably need to use a thin knife to clean up the gaps between the parts of the clip on the inside, as the first layer tends to smear around a bit. How I Designed This Discovering OnShape. Ready for printing. Cardboard prototype, first successful print, final version.
