Twisty Multi Clip (strong carabiner snap hook alternative)

This is an all new design to keep equipment together - a circular spinning carabiner  alternative - and it’s super strong! One of my test prints weighing only 3.84 grams was able to hold 19.77 kg just fine! That is 5100 times it’s own weight!! (First between 20-23 kg it broke.)

To open the Twisty Multi Clip, you spin the 2 parts until the opening appears. To close and lock, simply spin again half way round.

Have fun trying this new model when attaching things to your backpack for your next hike

Overview

It comes in multiple sizes (10 for now) to fit different needs! This sizing in the filenames follows this model: “X-Y …”

• (X. - fx. 15) - The inner diameter in mm
• (Y - fx. 6) - The opening width

Besides sizes, the model also comes in 3 differet styles for now:

• Smooth (looks great when chaning colors halfway through the print)
• Grip (easier to spin around due to the grip)
• Knurled (great grip and looks)

Assembly

It prints easily in 2 parts. To assemble:

1. Put one part on top of the other, with the opening 90 degrees angled
2. Spin the rings around to lock them together

Note: This is a new design. If tolerances are too loose/tight for different kind of filaments/printers, I would love to hear from you. That way I can improve the model.
