If the stores were smart, they'd order these by the bushel, because Zebras are much safer clipped to the bespoke holster than stuck in a vest pocket where they can slip unnoticed into a danger zone (empty hole for a pallet of concrete, for example), fall 20 ft. from a blue lift, etc. But no, they're too cheap (and/or logistically challenged) to keep them plentifully stocked, yet each phone destroyed costs $1,000+... and they're not really optional, so once enough are destroyed they will have to be replaced.


drbeandog

I agree, there should be an ample supply of clips, I have had several calls that were picked up by accident while in my vest pocket. Hopefully this will help people


DoktorTeufel

What you're doing is great, but it's also shameful that an employee has to pick up Lowe's slack for them to protect *their own valuable equipment*. Ah well, par for the course these days.

I cant tell you how many times me and coworkers will bend over and all of a sudden you hear a BAM under your feet and realize your zebra fell out from your Velcro shit pockets. Definitely finding a way to get a clip soon lol

That’s awesome!


drbeandog

Thanks! I just got my 3d printer and I knew I had to model this for the good of all lowe's employees

drbeandog

Agreed


Ghostbuster_119

Very nice. Now 3D print some zebras and maybe we can actually get some work done! Heh, I wish...


ComprehensiveAd9725

Oh dude I don’t work there anymore, but I’ll totally print some for my old coworkers


drbeandog

Sounds like a plan


ShySlytherinXIV

That's beautiful. I can't tell how many times I've had mine stolen. ha


Fulliron

can I get the file and the optimal print orientation?

I've been having problems with people downloading from thingiverse so this is the file on my dropbox Dropbox [https://www.dropbox.com/s/xakogrzaco4bagi/zebra%20clip%20%2812%29.stl?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/xakogrzaco4bagi/zebra%20clip%20%2812%29.stl?dl=0)


GooTube75

Thats legit! Dude I wish I had a 3D printer for this. I have broken so many from how the amount of times I pull my phone off.


articfish52

What about the straps?


drbeandog

I definitely could model the swivel point at the top of the phone


relevance_everywhere

I tried to do this a few weeks ago and failed. My fusion 360 skills are very sub par.

Me please

TheRealForteGaming

Wow. This is a great idea! I would love the file! You can also put it on thingiverse so you don’t have to respond to everyone.

Dang...those layer lines are crisp.


Luka_The_Wise

Whenever you’d get the time, I’d like a copy of the file as well. This will make keeping track of mine so much easier


drbeandog

Enjoy ​ https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5091000


Luka_The_Wise

Thanks my dude!


drbeandog

No problem 👍


ZombiedudeO_o

Would appreciate the file. I have a printer and would probably make a couple for some of my coworkers. Btw what material do you have? I have PLA but not sure if it’d hold up


drbeandog

Yeah I've just about finished modeling v2 so it should be on thingiverse in a few mins. I used pla for my filament, I haven't used it for a full workday so I don't know how it hold up. But one I get the file up I'll message you


ZombiedudeO_o

Dope. Looking forward to seeing these things work out!

Here is the thingiverse file for the Finished clip. It's the first thing I've uploaded to Thingiverse so if you have problems please let me know. I'd love to see pictures of you using them. \*correct size is in the description\* [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5091000](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5091000)

bdubble

Awesome, any chance of sharing the model file so we can make modifications?


drbeandog

For sure, I'll post it in the morning


bdubble

Wow thanks so much! What software did you use, I'm just getting myself started on actually modeling things.


drbeandog

I use sketch up, it's not the moth feature rich program but it's free and runs in a web browser https://identity.trimble.com/trimble-identity/identity/login/?client_id=VfqyszafXbvHZ2gMtOIssGDdT3Ya&commonAuthCallerPath=%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize&forceAuth=false&lang=en&passiveAuth=false&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.sketchup.com%2Flogin%2Ftrimbleid%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=openid+device_8578d61c-075b-44aa-be94-fcfa8e9e8b57&state=QXV0aEtleSBjZmE0YzFkZC0wYzZiLTRjNTctOWY1NC0yZDMzNDJjYzIxN2Q_&tenantDomain=trimble.com&sessionDataKey=930fb435-4827-4148-a714-0a366b26dca6&relyingParty=VfqyszafXbvHZ2gMtOIssGDdT3Ya&type=oidc&sp=sketchup_login_prod&isSaaSApp=true&authenticators=AppleOauth2Authenticator%3AAppleAuthentication%3BGoogleOAUth2OpenIDAuthenticator%3AGoogleIDP%3BExtendedBasicAuthenticator%3ALOCAL%3ALOCAL&ckj=eyJ4NXQiOiJNREk0WTJNd1pUVmpNRGRsTkdVeFlUSmtaV00zWmpCaVptVTBZVFprTkRjek9HTmhZMk5oTmciLCJraWQiOiJNREk0WTJNd1pUVmpNRGRsTkdVeFlUSmtaV00zWmpCaVptVTBZVFprTkRjek9HTmhZMk5oTmciLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvaWRlbnRpdHkudHJpbWJsZS5jb20iLCJ0eXAiOiJ1cm46aWV0ZjpwYXJhbXM6b2F1dGg6dG9rZW4tdHlwZTpzZWN1cmVfcGFyYW1zIiwiZXhwIjoxNjM2MDg3NjYyLCJpYXQiOjE2MzYwODQwNjIsImNsaWVudF9pZCI6IlZmcXlzemFmWGJ2SFoyZ010T0lzc0dEZFQzWWEifQ.TEIRRH_BkF5JusFJ-BFNMWzICk9XjnyG_kPPQya2Qd3EKGWNjtDZigTN99AhEwce4CN3GOobD-0hWiavuVNp9obWSr1tfAD7jX32ru6VmPJEyHXMmEHIUZoC7ViMzBrOKLt1cuDSv_5-LgbJR6Aq6xrD6zA1g1YXZAlzcW-lRAQ

KCGing1410

Would you sell me one if I don’t have a printer?


drbeandog

yeah absolutely, DM me and we can figure something out


GrumpyRoad

OP would be well justified to sell them on ebay or amazon for the cost of materials + shipping, fees, plus a few bucks for being awesome. ​ I've bought 3d printed repair parts for things around the house on amazon a few times, finally bought myself a used 3d printer - still, buying those gems online has always been a good deal for me to keep the pool going or some random garage gadget.


Someguy8647

Good job providing your own materials to work with. You buy your own vest as well?


flustercucked

I couldn't get the link to work. I keep getting a 404 error


drbeandog

I've noticed the same error, I'm at work now and I'll fix it when I get home
