KLIPPT - Phiên Bản EasyFit

The KLIPPT  Cable clip system is a great example of design for 3d printing. The design features are so well thought-out and documented. However I found that when using the clips in awkward places that getting the clips on and off was a bit difficult, so i've created an easy fit variant. 

See the model SKADIS base mount for the mounting base used in the model pic.

Key Feature Differences of the EasyFit Variant

1. Alignment feature that will self align when slotting to the mounting bases up to 10 degrees out of true. 
2. A reduced locking force on the mounting bases to ease installation in difficult locations. 
3. A version indicator added as geometry to avoid confusion with the normal variant.

Easy Fit Features

A 15 degree draft is added to each locking feature, this will self align by 10 degrees out of true. This also reduce the locking surface by a third decreasing the force required to mount.

Version Indicator 

As the geometry changes are very small, to assist in identifying the variant an indicator has been built into the clip as a single recessed dot.

Recommended Usage

Not recommended for applications where the clip will be under strain as the reduced locking force means the clip is separated from the base more easily than the normal variant
