Soo, the clips that retain the mouthpiece on the Volcano Bag apparatus seem to weaken over time, letting the mouthpiece become detached randomly in use. Also, when filling the bag, attached to the hopper.
This small piece will retain the clips on the Volcano Bag apparatus when attached to the mouthpiece or hopper. I suggest "engaging" this retainer piece after attaching, and "retracting" before detaching, by sliding the retainer piece toward and away from the mouthpiece or hopper.
I'm still not sure whether or not I like the version with fillets.
Enjoy, and happy to hear comments.
3 versions, because I don't know what I want
Original (just the correct dimestions)
Fillets (made fillets on just the top, not the print surface/bottom) *** Currently my Favorite **
Fillets v2 (minor fillets on top and bottom)
...I still need to design a Clip Replacement print for people whose clips have totally broken off.
