The plant clip that allows to support climbing plants and fix them to wire based supports and cages. The original model is for 2.7 mm wires. For other wire diameters, scale proportionally. For example, for 3.3 mm wire, print at (3.3 / 2.7 = 1.22) scale. Filaments: PLA (light colors only, dark PLA might melt under strong Sun!), PETG, ABS (I didn't try), ASA (I didn't try). The model does not require supports. However, do not expect the upper part of the spring to be smooth when printing a thin spring-type part vertically without supports. The upper ends of the springs might look ugly but this doesn't affect their functionality. Still PETG gives better results than PLA; reducing speeds and accelerations also gives more smooth edges. When print multiple pieces, print by object, not by layer - this gives muuuuch more smooth spring edges. The attached profile for Kobra 3 is for printing 4 clips per bed, by object, with slightly reduced speed.
