This is a clip I designed to work with the OpenForge 2.0 series.
I print my Open Forge 2.0 pieces without a base and then use sticky magnets to attach them to a metal baseplate. This uses less material and is less fiddly than any other solution I have found. Having to use bow ties or clips would drive me buggy and while the bucky ball bases are elegant they require more material, more print time, more finishing and the bucky balls themselves are currently illegal in the US.
The sticky magnets are cheap and nearly the same height as the bases. When mounted near the middle of each piece they also allow the bottom of the clip to hook around and "catch".
I was inspired by the existing Open Forge Torch (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:699107) but putting one together seemed like a hassle. The resulting torch flame is pretty but huge - larger the head of a standard human mini. By making an alcove with implied candlelight I think I solved the scale problem and the construction is
