**If you have some left over plastic on a spool and some zip tie tails that you normally just throw away then maybe this is a good use for both?**

Take the print of 10 connected heads and twist one off, then turn a zip tie tail inside out so the ribbed side is on the outside of the loop you'll make. Put the cut off end in first facing the fixed rib side, then you can thread the tapered end of the zip tie tail through to ratchet against the pawl side.

Print as solid as possible (30% to 50%)
I found 0.1mm layer height gave the most effective zip tie like results

The design was made to fit 4.8mm zip ties.
Other sizes to follow soon :)

***Please remix and improve the design if you have time***
