Adding clips to the 1″ posts
Yes, it’s true. It’s really simple. Warming them slightly (to ~130F / 54C ) can help ease them over.
NOTE: When doing this, the clips may make “crackling” noises, and there might be discoloration of the plastic on the inside edge. This is actually normal for this kind of 3D-printed part; see our longer explanation farther down on this page.
IMPORTANT: Don’t spread the arms out too far! The wider and farther you bend them, and the more often you do that, the more they will lose their “spring” over time. Yes, they can actually be spread quite large and they will “work” afterwards. But, never as well as before being over-stressed.
Adding clips to the wire shelves
It’s even easier with the wire-rack clips: slide the wire between the arms, work it around to the top, and pull the clip down to seat it in place.
The 4CELNK-YR Rack 0.25 Clips will fit over wire racks having wires 1/4″ and smaller, to precisely route your cables, hoses, and tubes.
Tip: you can even install the 0.25 clips on TOP of the shelves by running the wires up there instead of below.
