Parametric Zip Tie Head Replacement

Stop wasting 90% of your zip tie length!

NOW FULLY PARAMETRIC!
(note: if you are going to desing a head in the customizar add your own tolerances by modifying the width and height of the ziptie)



Once you printed the heads, insert your zip tie left over in the hole with no pawls, orienting the theeth outside of the L shape of the head, heat up the PLA with a lighter and press with pliers, let it cool off, and the join should be super strong.

Play around with the scaling in your slicer (or add extra width or height to the ziptie measures in the customizer) to have the best fit , it has to be the tightest tolerance possible to prevent slip on the teeth
