The idea.
I was looking for a safe, strong and flexible solution to attach something to a dog's collar. Soon I thought of the silicone rings on the ends of objects as they are often used. On my desk was a sample of TPU filament (I had never got around to printing with it) and playing with the filament I thought: "if I can attach this to the model"... After repeated attempts to come up with a clamping system, I soon found out that the TPU filament reacted like elastic. Every attempt to clamp failed as it thinned and came loose. Then I thought of a time when I put a rubber band through a small hole and then tied a knot in the elastic so she couldn't get out. That is how the system presented below came into being.
The design.
The TPU filament is pushed through a hole (square 1.8mm) and is guided by a curve in the chamber and comes out through the large hole. The intention is to tie a knot in the TPU filament (tighten it firmly!), cut of the excess filament 2-3mm behind the knot,
