This is a customizable paper clip that allows you to modify the size as well as add text.
The SCAD file was generated from scratch after examining several others.
If you push the limits some of the parameters, you will find that it is not yet perfect, but it seems good enough to publish and hopefully, it will be of some benefit to others.
If you are using a single-extruder, select "both clip and text".
If you are using a dual-extruder, you can select "clip only" to generate the STL for the clip, and then "text only" to generate the STL for the text.
I have found these to be great gifts for friends and colleagues, and they also work well as paper clips.
Note: I am seeing somewhat different results with the Customizer than I was using OpenSCAD. Specifically, the Customizer is having a much more difficult time automatically determining the length of the clip.
Please be patient and I'll see if I can fix it.
