I enjoy printing chip clips and I'm always on the lookout for good ones. This one is very fun and relies on compliant mechanisms to work. I noticed that the original ABS version wasn't quite strong enough for thicker items to clamp on when printed in PETG. I re-enforced the pivot to be stronger to prevent it from popping out of the socket. I also wished I could print in PLA.
