3D model description

This is a more secure version of my simple drying clip - it grabs your film from both sides and holds it securely by the sprocket holes.


Features:

  • Secure film holding by the sprocket holes. The clip never touches your emulsion and won't damage your precious pictures!
  • Magnetic latch keeps the clip shut and prevents film from falling to the ground
  • Large hook at the top allows you to hang it from e.g. a shower curtain rail or any other round object
  • Engages with multiple sprockets, so you can attach a heavy weight at the bottom without worrying about damaging your film - the load is evenly spread out.
  • Thanks to the magnets, the clips stick together in storage so you can keep them all in one place

Assembly notes

To keep the clip shut, you will need to glue in four 8x1 mm magnets - this makes the clip as low profile as possible. It also gives it a very satisfying click when closing! Two magnets work as well, but the closing force is reduced.

You will also need a regular paperclip to act as an axle for the hinge and keep everything attached. Simply cut a two ~10 mm pieces of the straight section of the wire and insert it into the hinge on both sides.

3D printing settings

Print without supports at a 0.2 mm layer height and 4 perimeters. I recommend using PLA and a standard 0.4 mm nozzle.
