About this model

A quick release buckle clip with a curved profile. My dog chewed through the male end of the clip of my favorite collar (favorite on him, that is - I have completely different taste) so I needed a drop-in replacement. While I was at it, I designed the female end as well. Both were designed from scratch, since the clip designs I found were too difficult to modify. To make it easier for those who follow, I included low-poly stl files for playing with as well as fully rendered ones for printing. I printed the clips flat with buildplate supports only, leaving the roof of the female clip to bridge on its own. The print needed some interior cleanup with a knife and sandpaper, but was otherwise good to go. YMMV.
