/Garden/FenceTopClip.foocad
This was first created, so that I could secure a squash plant along the top of a wooden fence. But I guess it could be used for lots of things.
Print Notes
I suggest lots of perimeters, because the strength is needed along the length (and it will be a 100% filled object due to the small thickness, so why not all perimeters?)
I printed these in PLA, and they are flexible enough. Time will tell if they hold their shape well enough.
