Tripod Leg Clips

Many years ago I got this Manfrotto 701HDV tripod with 701B legs. It came with plastic clips to hold the legs neatly together when not in use, but two of the three clips soon broke. Replacements are available for sale (either as Manfrotto R547,25 or R500,17), but they cost $8-20 each plus shipping.

I first traced the design in Fusion 360 and printed two more in nylon (Taulman910), and then decided to create a parametric version from scratch so that the radius and separation could be adjusted to fit other tripods. I printed those in nylon as well, although any material would probably work.

The original version also has a small hole in the center to hold a 3mm hex wrench, which can easily be added to either model, but I didn't bother.
