String-Fastened Bucket Clips

thingiverse

These are clips to be use with string or some other flexible fastener. I use them to put tension on branches of plants to keep them from growing too tall. The clips are placed on the rim of the pot/bucket and are held in place by the tension of the branch. Two clips are attached to each end of a piece of string and a knot is put in the the string-ends to keep them from pulling through the clips. I suppose they could be scaled up and used as a wall clip, wire clip, or other general fastener. I have not tested the force they can withstand before failure, but if the clips aren't working for your application, try increasing the infill all the way up to 100% or scaling them up.
