Useful 3D Printable Models (Part 6) - Bag Closure Clip
Sometimes the simplest 3D printable models turn out to be the most useful. In the current part of our series, we introduce an accessory that is needed in almost every household, office, or workshop. A small item that you always seem to look for when you need it – and which you can now produce for yourself at any time.
Why is it useful?
The model comes in several sizes, so you’ll always find the right one for any bag — whether it’s chips, pasta, coffee, or frozen food. It lets you reseal packaging in seconds, keeping contents fresh and organized. And the best part? If you ever run out of clips, you don’t have to buy more — print a few new ones!
Why do we love this model?
It’s simple, quick to print, and surprisingly durable. You can make it in different sizes to fit every kind of bag, and if you’d like, you can even add a small magnet to keep one on the fridge so it’s always within reach.
What material should you use?
Since these clips are primarily used indoors, PLA is the ideal choice. It’s easy to print, produces a smooth surface, and is stiff enough to hold bags securely — yet flexible enough not to break easily. Additionally, it’s available in a variety of colors, allowing your clips to be as fun or as subtle as you prefer. PLA is ideal for anyone who wants reliable, clean prints without the need for endless tweaking of print settings.
Printing tips
Print several at once — trust us, these clips have a way of disappearing over time. It’s worth keeping a few extras in the kitchen, office, or workshop.
