I wanted a strong, durable, secure, removable, and easily printable clip for an Apple Pencil (2nd Generation). Tried the existing designs, but they broke too easily, were difficult to install or remove, or were difficult to print well. This design is from scratch but inspired by the others. Print in PETG at 0.16mm layer height for the best clip springiness and durability.

The Apple Pencil slips in from the end. The flat side of the pencil locks into the flat spot on the clip, and the clip has just enough tension to not come loose but is removable for regular magnetic charging. It may appear a bit large, but seems just right in person and doesn't interfere with comfortable holding in your hand.
