Bungee / cord gripper

This is a simple device for clamping 10mm bungee cord, especially when the cord is being used through a hole to fasten something.

There are 2 printed parts, plus a suitable spring - around 10 - 14mm diameter, and 5 - 10mm long. The spring shouldn't be too tough to squeeze (scope for experimentation!).

Simply print the 2 parts, drop the spring inside the body, and slide in the button, peg first. Line up the holes, push the button down, then insert the bungee cord. The cord will stop it falling apart.

UPDATE: One maker has used it to grip cords used in clothing, which I hadn't considered… a bonus!

OpenSCAD files

The size can be modified in OpenSCAD, but you will need one library: chamfer.scad

Alternatively you could try varying the size of the pieces in the slicer, if you don't want to deal with OpenSCAD.
