Plant clip(s) for small seedlings, tomato in my case. Used to support the young seedlings until they are big enough to stand on their own.
Two versions shown with corresponding STL files.

V1, and the best. Uses a metal spring, and cost 0.36 GBP Each for 30 off and consists of spring, screw and PLA printed parts.

V2, cheaper. Uses the same screw with PLA printed parts and costs 0.14 GBP for 30 off.

The spring version is more durable and grips the support stick better whilst the other all-in-one version utilises a "leaf spring" and works fine, but I think the "leafs" might take a set long term and loose their spring. They might work better in Nylon, but this is untried.
I think black material would resist UV degradation better than the orange I used.

Links below are for the screws and springs (equivalent parts may be found cheaper)

Spring 0.6 wire diameter x 4mm OD x 15mm Lg.
Screws Button Head Hexagon socket M2 x 3 Lg.
