What did you accomplish today?

[Bobby schmeckle]

I was too busy chasing college girls in Chico and getting drunk.

Lol I lived in Chico for one year in 2005. I had to move away or I was going to die. I’ve never seen an entire town party like that place. Duffy’s, town lounge and u-bar.

I was doing much the same in Coco Beach.

I should have asked if you achieved orbital insertion before they gained escape velocity

“Translunar injection” suggests butt stuff

Docking completed, now go home.

I did this at the house I used to crash at. It was an old Victorian and I rode up the stairs onto the front porch.

I would try turning the clips (as suggested). The wide back of the clip will provide plenty of opposition to the net. You may not need that second part. Based on the force pulling toward the center I could see the slat pulling out of the channel.

With this design the clip is turned 180° and being pulled into the bar instead of away like @420God and @cannabineer suggested. The knot is tied through the hole in the square piece then slotted into the clip.

I see two likely issues when you apply tensile stress with the string.
1) Clip will want to spread, releasing the plate.
2) Plate will eventually bow and pop out due to the polymer creep phenomenon.

I suggest a one-piece design much like your originals, but as others have noted, if you offset the clip opening you'll solve it ... unless there's something I'm missing.

Basic idea is sort of like this.

With FDM printing you want to apply equal forces if your goal is to have a functioning part over a prototype. A hook would would have to be significantly bulked up to resist the asymmetrical forces.

I like it, very efficient. What was your college degree in?

I think your initial design with the (line attachment, clip opening) angle changed from 180 to 90 degrees is a goer, and keeps the clips monolithic/one piece. One piece is a big feature.

Unless you can’t do that; reason?

I was already an E-5 back then.

In 79 I was working at the Boeing Renton plant in the tool & die shop. When I went to apply at Boeing in 1977 they had a sign in the window "NOT ACCEPTING ANY APPLICATIONS.....except Veterans". I used to wear a t-shirt " If it ain't Boeing I ain't going"......oh how times have changed.

I did this on my 73 Z1 in my buddys blacktop driveway (about 79 or 80) during a party.
Google street view still shows the marks Lol.

So for the first time in 25 years I had to cancel a gig today It was a xmas party downtown, and they were SO looking forward to having me perform. It turns out that I have a bulging or herniated disc in my lower back, and although it is slowly improving, I would just re-injure it if I tried to gig in this condition. Which is exactly what I did this last time. I sustained this injury a few weeks ago while working out, thought it healed enough to play a gig, and from simply moving equipment, standing, and walking, I re-injured it worse than before. I had an amazing xmas party to attend this evening, and tickets to see Brother Ali tomorrow night with a bunch of buddies. Not to mention 2 other gigs that I'm going to have to cancel in the next few days. Altogether I'm out about $1300. I hope I can make some of that gig money back by selling some weed that folks ordered at that party that I'll miss tonight, as a buddy is supposed to stop by, pick it up, and get it to the people expecting it. Oh well, at least now I have a legit excuse to avoid my family on xmas. I've got a nice back brace coming tomorrow that I hope will help. I'm still in surprisingly good spirits, at least it's not cancer...

I’ll give that a shot. Here’s another idea I had, it’s a two piece design though

Put the hole for the 180 degrees opposite. That way the pulling force will spread the feet open. Seriously just turn the clips sideways for me (while you make V2). Although since the clips are loose it would rotate. Yeah like CN said put the twine hole on the side with the opening facing down, one piece is a big advantage. Also if you own the 3D printer can you simply print up some of each and test them?

We could bet on our favorite clip LOL
