I have this cheap binder clip from Amazon, which wasn’t actually cheap imo, but whatever. I like the cat. I’d like to keep using it, but the “brass” paint is rubbing off, and it smells like metal. I think it reacts with the oils in my hands or something. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks.
Is there something I can do to keep it looking nice and perhaps prevent it from wearing down so quickly?
When I’m back from holiday (in the new year) I’ll take a look at the pictures.

You basically just upload the model and it generates a quote. Amazing how easy it is to order custom-made items these days
This is fantastic. Now I’m just looking at where to buy a spring that will fit.
Could use a spring from a chip-clip. If it’s too narrow, some washers or spacers would hold it in place. Or adjust the model to fit the spring. FreeCAD is a wonderful thing 😉
