Description

This is my version of a cord stop featuring a compliant spring design. I have found a very similar design on a different platform, but the design presented here has a nicer finish in my opinion. With just two printed parts, this cord stopper is quite simple and efficient. The central hole has a diameter of 5 mm. Works well with thicker cords, especially those made from cotton (see white bag in the accompanying photos). Thin or slippery cords don´t work so well. As material I used PLA+. I assume also other materials like PETG would work fine.

 

A word of caution: when detaching the spring button from the build plate, exercise care with the scraper tool. I had one jumping off the plate behind the back panel of the bambulab printer, couldn´t find it again.

petg, slightly modified the profile using tree supports, quality is good, but for me I would need to adjust tolerance of one part. I will definitely reprint it.

Nice little helper. Had to scale the outer part up by 3% to make it work (used PETG).

Printed the inner part again a little bit smaller which worked better. But still 5 stars because it's super hard to create print profiles for such small objects that work for everyone. Even a different build plate (textured vs smooth) can make a big difference at this level.
