Bulldog Zip
This is a zip toggle I designed to replace the one that broke on my jacket. I have seen a lot of replacement zippers here on Thingiverse and even tried a few but they were never strong enough. Paperclip based ones rusted and broke and ones with a plastic loop snapped too easily.
This one uses an arm stolen from a bulldog clip. This is much sturdier and easier to fit.
- Just squeeze the arm together to release it from the clip.
- Thread through the remains of the zipper.
- Squeeze the arm together and fit the printed toggle.
Easy.
Hopefully this will be useful to others. I have made this a customizer compatible thing so that the dimensions can be altered to your liking.
