01About
Reusable clips for chip, snack, coffee and frozen-food bags. Each clip is two jaws joined by a hinge that prints already assembled: lift it off the plate, fold it shut once, and it works. Fine interlocking ribs on both jaws hold the folded bag, and a small latch at the end clicks over a lip to keep it closed.
Three sizes: small, about 60 mm long when closed, medium about 90 mm and large about 120 mm, each 20 mm wide. Use the larger size for a wider bag opening. To open, pull the latch outward with your thumb and lift the top jaw.
They print flat and open, one color each, with no supports, springs, pins or glue: about 28 minutes and 9 g for the small one, 47 minutes and 18 g for the large one. There is a file for each size and a plate of six, two of each.
The projects are set up in PLA for a Bambu Lab P2S; PETG is tougher for everyday kitchen use. It comes as 3MF projects and as STL, and the license lets you sell the prints you make.

02How to print
Open the 3MF in Bambu Studio
Open it as a project (File, then Open Project). The printer, plate and settings are already saved, so there's nothing to set up. Printing on another brand? Use the STL files with the settings below.
Load your filament
You need three colors:
- SmallSunny yellow (any one color)
- MediumCoral (any one color)
- LargeTeal (any one color)
Print
Print the clips flat and open as supplied. Each one comes off the plate with its hinge already working: nothing to glue, screw or put together.
Print each clip flat and open as supplied, and keep both halves together where they are: they are joined by the hinge. Never print them closed or arrange the halves apart. Keep the scale at 100%: the hinge and latch clearances depend on it.

03What to print
4 layouts. Each size alone, and a plate of six:
| Part | How many | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Small01 Small | 1 clip | About 60 x 20 mm closed |
| Medium02 Medium | 1 clip | About 90 x 20 mm closed |
| Large03 Large | 1 clip | About 120 x 20 mm closed |
| Large04 Set | 6 clips | Two of each size on one plate, one color |
Pick one layout and one format, the 3MF or the STL. Print the single files in different colors for a mixed set.
04Using your clips
Release it
Let the plate cool, then flex it gently to free both jaws.
Fold it once
Support the hinge and fold the jaws toward each other. Never twist sideways or force a stuck hinge.
Clip the bag
Fold the bag opening neatly, lay it between the ribbed jaws away from the hinge and latch, and press near the end until the latch clicks.
Open it
Pull the latch outward with your thumb while lifting the top jaw. Don't pull on the bag to open it.
Clips go on the outside of packaging, not in contact with loose food. Keep them away from heat and dishwashers; wipe clean by hand. Not for carrying a bag or holding a load.
