Exclamation How to make a cage clip

Cube Cage clips can be used to secure doors and other loose parts of a cube cage, without the hassle of removing panels or cutting zipties. This tutorial will show you how to build one out of Knex, a popular constrution toy:

The materials:
2 blue rods, 3rd smallest
2 blue circly-rings
4 grey single-opening connectors
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2104.jpg
1. Take the two rods and 2 of the grey things. Snap a grey thing to a blue hting. Do this twice:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2106.jpg
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2106.jpg
You shoul dhave this then:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2107.jpg
Now put them toghether. This one has no snapping, it should go smooth:

You hsould now have this (ignore the stray arrow):
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2109.jpg
Now turn it, and get a blue ring thing. Up it on one of the ends:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2110.jpg
Then slide it down
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2112.jpg
Now, on that same side, snap a grey thing to it, next to the blue thing. Then slide it down:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2113.jpg
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2114.jpg
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2115.jpg
Slide another blue ring, then snap another grey thing
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2116.jpg
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2117.jpg
NOw you are done!
Here is the finished display
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2118.jpg
The permanent attachmen to one cube should be in the TINY little hole, right above the left blue ring
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...r/IMG_2118.jpg
The part that will go on and off goes above the other blue ring:
To close, jut slide the rod without anythign on it to the right:

Re: How to make a cage clip

Very detailed instructions! I can't quite picture how it is used, though - do you have a picture of the clip in use on a cage?
