Simple Plastic Clip

A simple replacement plastic clip for an insulin pump pouch.

The pouch and clip are rather expensive to buy, the lady who the item was for was happy to sew her own pouch but needed a quick way to make the plastic part that clips on to a bra strap
The cloth pouch is worn under the clothing and holds a device which is about the size of a mobile phone.

You will need.

A sheet of plastic, I've used ABS 2.5 mm thick (polycarbonate would also be suitable)
A scalpel or craft knife
straight edge or rule
cutting mat
A file
a vice or clamps
a few bits of metal plate or wood to act as heat shields and/or bending jigs
Hot air gun
Wet and dry paper

Plastic can be a joy to work with. Very nice job and thanks for helping someone else out with your talents.

I'm impressed at how 'polished' the finished item looks. It looks like it could have been manufactured commercially. Very nice.
