How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This clip-on holder is optimized for 3D printing, with a design that minimizes the need for extensive support structures, especially when printed with the clip opening facing upwards. Consider printing in durable materials like PETG or ABS for enhanced strength and longevity, particularly if it will be subjected to frequent use or moderate loads. For optimal grip, a layer height of 0.15mm to 0.2mm is recommended. The model is also well-suited for integration into game environments or AR/VR experiences as a prop for detailed scenes, offering a realistic touch to virtual spaces.
