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

1. Take the two rods and 2 of the grey things. Snap a grey thing to a blue hting. Do this twice:

You shoul dhave this then:

Now put them toghether. This one has no snapping, it should go smooth:

You hsould now have this (ignore the stray arrow):

Now turn it, and get a blue ring thing. Up it on one of the ends:

Then slide it down
https://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Balakr/IMG_2112.jpg
Now, on that same side, snap a grey thing to it, next to the blue thing. Then slide it down:

https://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Balakr/IMG_2114.jpg
https://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Balakr/IMG_2115.jpg
Slide another blue ring, then snap another grey thing
https://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Balakr/IMG_2116.jpg
https://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Balakr/IMG_2117.jpg
NOw you are done!
Here is the finished display

The permanent attachmen to one cube should be in the TINY little hole, right above the left blue ring
https://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/Balakr/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:
