Retainer clip for Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard wrist rest

A simple replacement retainer clip for the wrist rest that snaps onto the front of a Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard. Carefully scrape off the remnants of the broken clip on your wrist rest, leaving a smooth surface, rough it up a little if necessary, then download and print this and epoxy it on.

On the bottom of the wrist rest, the clips are arranged in pairs - this is for the left one of each pair (though the photo belies this). You should be able to simply let your slicer mirror the part along X or Y if you need to replace one of the right clips.

If you need to replace both clips, print one of each and then break off one of the "base" sides, as needed.

When mounting to your wrist rest, leave 8.1 to 8.2 mm between the left and right clips in the pair.

Update 2018-04-18: I uploaded a thicker revision of the clip, a mirrored version of it, and a double version (i.e. if both clips on either side of the wrist rest need replaced).

Notes:

Use a 5-10 mm brim also. Recommend adding "sacrificial" objects to the plate to give the upper layers more time to cool. Printing two of these at a time helps also.

Post-Printing

Depending on the accuracy of your printer, you may want to consider sanding the mounting-side of the part smooth for best results.
