I wanted to store my arrows in a tube for transportation to and from the field without having them rattle around. A pair of these clips will hold 6 arrows with feathers and 7.5mm shafts securly in a bundle small enough to sit inside a typical blueprint tube or a 3" dia cardboard shipping tube.
This object was created in OpenSCAD so it's fully parametric. If people are interested in tailoring the design to their own equipment I will post the .scad file.
2019/09/12 - Update: I've added a few more versions to the file list for different shaft diameters. I've only tested the 7.5mm version because that's the only size arrow I currently have.
I printed mine at .24mm layer height, but since the design doesn't have many overhangs it shouldn't be critical. Since I printed mine in ABS I included a small skirt to help keep everything flat during the print.
I recommend printing in a springy material like ABS or PETG so the clips will grip the arrows without snapping.
