About this model

Clippy 4100 I teach electrical... 80 students produce a lot of scrap wire. I made this to turn a short piece of solid copper wire into a paper clip. It may not be the best paper clip, but it does work and look at that subtle metallic sheen. The tasteful thickness of it. Make that resume or invoice stand out. Pros: -Recycling -Beautiful -Never buy a paper clip again -Who doesn't need a paper clip Cons: -Requires something to cut copper wire -Not the most tight clip, but is user adjustable Print details -No supports -15% infill -Prints fast Design I came up with this while walking around the shop fidgeting with a scrap piece of copper. then I went down a rabbit hole of the ratio of the bends to the distance between the bends. The first prototype was a piece of OSB with SAE bolts for the bend…
