Well, it can be made in almost an hour it took about 55 minutes I believe. However this depends the printer's settings. I use 50mm/s speed except for the first layer. Where I used 15 mm/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikos Matsablokos Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 So here are the .stl files for the clothespin version of the clamp with the moving jaw, to clamp parallel and with even pressure. Printing it will require supports. I'd recommend support sensity about 10% because removing them from the recess in the middle of the clothespin body is kind of a pain. Again, any suggestions for improvements are kindly welcome and if anyone prints them please do upload a photo of the print. I'd be really interested to see how it turns out on someone else's printer. Here are the two files: Clothespin Body.stl Clothespin Jaw.stl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is, you'll just need a lot of them as with normal clothes pins. And you'll have to remove the support for each one. Doesn't take a lot of time to do that though but if you have, say 60, it will.
