Improved, new, reusable zip ties! 4 lengths to choose from, batches included, PETG recommended, but PLA works too, v2.0

Print one-offs as needed or use the included batch sets to print either:

• 20 regular zip ties (~170mm length)
• 16 long zip ties (~198mm length)
• 2 longer and 1 longest zip ties (~252mm x2, ~276mm x1)

Note: all models and batches assume a print bed size of at least 200 x 200 mm.

New improved design offers …

• New feature: retainer hole slot, keep zip tie with cord even when in use. See pics below. 
• Ratchet style locking with smaller increments to choose from. See pics below.
• Spring-flex quick release tab also doubles as a wedge to prevent zip tie from slipping loose when not intended. See pics below.

Print tips:

• Print as oriented
• No supports needed
• Layer height: 0.2mm
• PETG strongly recommended, but PLA works too
