This is a replacement clip for the original that comes with Airpots similar to the Olympia Pump Action Airpot. The original part is quite flimsy and breaks easily. I have no idea if this part will last any longer as my initial print has yet to fail.
How to print?
I would recommend printing the clip on its side (so the cylindrical hole is arranged vertically) and use supports (probably not tree type). The shape of the part will make for several annoying to remove supports, but this orientation should result in a stronger print and not run into issues around the very slight bend.
PLA should be fine.
How to use?
Use a small screwdriver or similar to push the metal pin that holds the original clip out. It shouldn't require a lot of force if your Airpot is anything like the one I had on hand.
Line up the printed part and push the metal pin back in.
Known issues
You may need to drill out the cylicndrical hole if it's too tight. My test print was too tight and I ended up drilling it out with a 3.2mm drill bit. The file I've uploaded has a slightly larger hole so this might not be required.
How was this made?
I measured the broken parts of the original clip with a set of calipers and threw this together in TinkerCAD. I could have reduced the number of 90 degree angles but didn't feel like it. The original part was pretty blocky too. The only thing that was really nicer about the original was the grip on the wedge part of the clip. Maybe I'll add that some day.
Let me know if you have any suggestions to improve this thing!
