These 3D-printed crocodile clips were specifically designed for airbrushing preparation. They consist of two main components: the clip itself and a long, sturdy support rod. The clips securely hold small objects such as model parts or components, allowing for easy and hands-free painting.

There are various clip designs with different end shapes – including simple grippers, round holding rings, or hooks. The clamping mechanism is based on an integrated spring system that is entirely 3D-printed and requires no additional parts.

The holders are attached to a perforated stand, which is also 3D-printed. This stand serves as a practical base for holding several clips at once, allowing for quick swapping or simultaneous processing of multiple parts. The system is modular, easy to clean, and can be expanded as needed.

No support is necessary for printing, but a fine nozzle size and proper printer calibration are recommended to ensure that movable parts like the springs print accurately and function smoothly. The models can be combined in any color and customized to suit individual needs.
