Larger Filing strips | verlängerter Heftstreifen

Especially within the EU, standard binding strips are commonly used to bind individual sheets or documents so they can be filed together in a ring binder. This works perfectly—unless you also want to file a spiral-bound notebook in the binder. This setup increases the distance between the notebook's binding and the holes used for filing.

Print settings

• + ideally TPU/Flex - PETG, PLA possible

• 0,2mm layer height

• 3 perimeterlines

Assembly 

1. The easiest method is to disassemble an existing file fastener. To do this, open the folder and pull out the metal strip. If it gets stuck, you may need to open or remove small tabs on the backside.

2. Insert the metal strip into one of the rectangular tab slots and out through the other. If you do not want the strip visible on the back, you can pull it through the hollow channel located between the rectangular tab slots (see picture below)

   

3. Reattach the cover clip just as it was originally, and use it as usual.
