OpenLOCK Tight Clip

Description

I joined the Mystic Realm Undergrowth kickstarter, and found that the latest version of the OpenLOCK clips were way too loose with them. I modded the clips so they hold much tighter, plus created several beds of them that just barely touch, which helps to prevent them from shifting on the print bed during printing. Plus, they peel off as a sheet much easier (or at the least, a knife makes it very easy to pop them off now. You can quickly snap them apart if they come off as a combined sheet. (It annoyed me to have to pry off every single clip from the print bed, so I figured my sheets of them might help others too.) The reason I made multiple sheet sizes were to help fill in if I needed a short print run, or had a longer time open to print them out. The ..x10 sizes should fit on 8" beds (they work on my Ender 3's, while the 6x6 version should print fine on a 6" x 6" print bed. These clips have a slightly wider bump-out on the "legs" on each side, the legs are a little thinner, so they bend to push in or pull out better, and the legs angle slightly out the further they go from the center, which makes for a better hold yet. Also, the ends angle up from the print bed a little, which gives an easy edge to slide your print bed removal tool under. In the end, they are working much better with the Mystic Realms OpenLOCK terrain, and I suspect they'll work better for other OpenLOCK terrain too. Print one and see if it works better for you before trying a full sheet of them. Thanks to www.printablescenery.com for the OpenLOCK clips (this is based on the 5.4 version).
