What did you accomplish today?

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

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.
Let me introduce you to Fresno/Clovis, where every weekend night (not unusual for weekdays too) consists of a bunch of mfers going from party to party on all sides of town. One gets shut down? Fuck it, lets all meet up at a gas station or McDonald’s while we find another house to take it too. No other house? Fuck it, party in the gas station til the police crash that shit. Then move to another gas station on the other side of town lol. End up having touched down in the north, east, and west in one night. All this til about 4am, every weekend without fail. Every weekday also when the teens are on winter/spring/summer break.

Lol I wasn’t trying to be obtuse, i can rotate it 90°, as soon as pressure is put on the net it rotates straight. I could print a few tomorrow. How would we judge the wiiner?

Is this what you and @cannabineer are talking about

You seem to have a knack for design/engineering; I'd never have guessed accounting and biz management
Yea probably not the best major financial decision I’ve made in my life.

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.

Elephant IUDs?

Brilliant repurposing!

Winner winner chicken dinner! I think this is it. (thank you for rotating it for me you'd have to drill a hole in the side of the clip for it to work. But this design could do it.

This idea and your tested, working design could be the pet rock of today. You could make some nice money printing these and selling them and some pre-made nets in nice colors. A kushy little home industry!

Tested out my only Christmas present I got this year (I’m not bitter I’m really fucking bitter the wife knows there’s only one way to make up for it, it’s going in the butt), a pair of runners from the step sons gf. Pushed out 6k’s in em no blisters. My old runners sucked compared to these. Not my choice of kicks but comfy and good to boogie in.
