Gator instrument clips for ringed surgical instruments (parametric)

These are simple clips intended to help keep surgical instrumentation jaws open during sterilization, based on some existing clips I saw at a previous job in central sterile processing. The included .scad file allows you to edit the various dimensions as well as set a label, if you want to include one. The models included are standard lengths for clamps/forceps and scissors. Since Thingiverse Customizer is somewhat broken, I recommend the excellent OpenSCAD Playground to customize this model.
