Summary

Updated 15/06/2022
Someone mentioned the magnet issue of the file"Clip Crab". I found I forgot to remove the magnet model when I export the file. Now it's fixed. Thanks.

Someone asked for a bigger tolerance version, I add 0.1mm tolerance, have a try:)
Different settings and different machines may have different results.

This is a lovely crab clip.

One day when I was making an instant noodle, I couldn't find something to hold the cap of the instant noodle bowl. Then I designed this crab clip.

Its claws have a rotating joint, which can be printed by one-time. The legs can be used to puncture the plastic packaging of the instant noodles.

When the crab clip is resting on the refrigerator, it can hold sticks for you to deliver messages.

The magnet size is D6x30mm, you can buy it on Amazon easily.

0.1 layer height and more than 60% infill are recommended for strength.

May the peace and love with you, enjoy!

There is another Non-free version with a more rounded shape, more flexible ball joint, and multiple patterns at:

The tolerances were not ideal for PETG. One crab's claws would not rotate and broke off when trying to "free" them. I figured PETG would be better since it is a bit more flexible than PLA. More of a PSA than anything else. I rated 3 stars because if the claws are rotated in any direction other than flat, the crab does not sit flat against the fridge. This makes means the magnets are less effective and it falls down. For a little bath time toy, its a 5. Purpose vs use I guess.
