3D Printed Sap Tubing Clips
Clips I designed to make it easier to roll up tubing that I need to put up and take down every year. Keeps drop lines in a better line with laterals for easier rolling. Having a 3D printer can be pretty fun and useful. I have some other ideas and files to add to this; but if you have a printer or know someone who does and think they're useful; have at it!
Can also function to help hold sagging lines up. They have a hole for nails. Files included for two 5/16" lines; two 3/16" lines and a clip for one 3/16" and one 5/16" for those using 5/16" drop lines on their 3/16" tubing runs. There's a file for a half of a 5/16" line clip that if you print two, you can use CA glue to affix them at a 90 degree angle; with a single print, the orientation was not ideal for strength. I would suggest PETG or other somewhat flexible filament. PLA is too hard; and it can be a bear to snap them onto semi-rigid or rigid tubing.
Print vertically or it will likely split in cold weather.
