About this model
This is a simple snap-fit joints library based on "Snap-Fit Joints for Plastics - A Design Guide" by Bayer MaterialScience LLC . The idea is to correctly dimension the snap-fit joints, according to the elongation at break that can withstand. -The global variable eps define the material (e.g. PLA: eps=0.03; ABS: eps=0.06) -The dimension are the same reported on Design Guide. For simple cantilever snap it is also possible to define h or y (see figure) -The value of K2 or K1 used in Ring snap could be taken from Fig 10 of guide (but the default K=2 should be ok). I have also added some simple example on the use of the library. I also printed the cable clamp, and it works well. it is suggested to print snap-fit cantilever on the XY printer plane. Bug Fix: 0.35 on the basis of the shanemgrey re…
