Description
I combined two designs found on printable into this truss clip for 50mm truss. You can attach the clip to the measuring tape without any tools. The clip also features a litte mounting hole for a mini parachute so that the clip is slowed down while falling to the ground after the truss has been leveled. I haven't been able to test the assembly in the real world but I have used the truss clip in the past and it worked perfectly fine.Do to some tolerances needed for attaching the clip one will have an added height of about 5mm wich I find to be totally acceptable. Since the original models have been published on printable I can't mark this post as a remix.
