$2 gets you 12 binder clips.
Looks like a binder clip.

I got u fam
Paperclips $5
5 meter Stretch cord$5
100 meter$15
I'm guessing the guy used T-pins to hold the cord on the paper, but then the pin would damage the desk. Not sure what material that looks like.
Life Pro Tip - we use binder clips in the kitchen to keep those inner bags rolled up tightly and our food fresh.
We use 'em in the freezer, the pantry - everywhere
DO NOT SPEND $30 BUCKS ON THIS!!! SPEND ABOUT $10!
If you got a Dollar Tree or other Dollar store nearby go check it out. I got 2 packs of ID badges retractors which came 3 to a pack. I bought 2 packs of Carabiners which were 3 to a pack, and then mounted them using large Office Binder clips and a piece of a thin strip of sheet metal which was screwed on both sides which were longer then the Office Binder clips and secured them to the ceiling. I then used the Carabiner to attach to the "wings" of the office Binder clip, and the keyring that came on the Carabiner then allowed the ID badge to clip onto it. On the bottom of the ID badge retractor I used a second Carabiner.
This is what the ID badge retractors look liked

Carabiner in case you don't know what they are

Office Binder Clip
https://www.amazon.com/CRUODA-Office-Black-Binder-Folder/dp/B073XDZSL8
It was cheap as fuck to make and they work excellent. If you don't have any sheet metal just cut up a pop can, and make sure the strips are longer then the length of the Office Binder Clip, thread it through the clip, and then screw it up into the ceiling on both sides.
I also made pretty cheap sensor mounts if anyone is interested.
Garden Sprayer+Misting Hose+Binder Clips+Canopy
Get hot? Just turn on the "AC." It's easy to go through a ton of water if you are blasting it constantly, but periodic 10 second bursts are really all you need. We never used more than one tank per day, if that. Detach the misting hose and the sprayer then doubles as a camping shower, just invest in a cheapo privacy tent.
We also use one or two tapestries for shade, just make sure to clip them with about a foot off the ground to maintain the breeze.

Clip on and remove the handles. When I print the figures I print one sided, designed to fold over into a two sided piece. I leave an extra 1/2 inch on the bottom to account for the clip.
I ordered some clips off Amazon that I like a lot. Only thing I’ve been able to find that works for me

The BEST bag clips ever made are binder clips. They are metal, but they hold everything well, & come in several sizes.

Could get those small binder clips and clip the towel in that and use the silver part to hold onto a tack.

MTG cards are a little big if you're using a standard 1" = 5' mat, but that's not really an issue if you don't want it to be. But you can just use binder clips instead and not worry about damage plus they're much cheaper.
The cheapest and easiest are folder clips like these. Just take off the levers, turn 'em upside down, clip the paper mini in.
There was a plastic one that someone linked in another thread the other day but I can't remember the name of them. They had cardboard inserts that seemed pretty spiffy.
Or you could just use this: https://monsterforge.org/minis/

I use a stack of index cards, often with a small binder clip to hold them together.
Combined with a small pen that I pretty much always carry, I always know where my lists are, I can write down anything that strikes me, and since they're index cards (and not a notebook), I can easily shuffle my multiple lists.
I'll often have a "work stuff", "stuff today at home", and a "stuff this week at home" lists (at a minimum) going at the same time.
I've also tried every electronic to-do app, and they just don't work for me.
Whenever I have a minute and think "what should I do now", I just check my cards.

What size binder clips are you using? Is the bed free to move still up and down?
The bed needs to be free to click down in order for the autoleveling to function. I noticed that when I tried using "mini" binder clips, the bed was unable to move freely in order to trigger the button that the autoleveling routine uses to check whether the tool head is in contact with the base. Sure enough the nozzle would just slam into the glass bed using this.
What you need are "micro" binder clips. This will still let the bed move freely and autolevel correctly. I am not sure what country you are in, but these are the ones available in the US I got.
Let me tell you, binder clips are insanely handy. I got a package on Amazon for about $8.
I originally bought them to secure my plant ties to the edges of my smart pots during LST, and they do a fantastic job.
You need to put some weight on the hanging film. I use this to hang my drying films, and this on the end of each individual film.
Each film is different also, some tend to curl more than others, or band in the middle. After my film is totally dry I cut them into manageable strips and then inside a nice heavy book overnight, then on to scanning.....
Like these?
I see you have 4" ducting but trust me you're definitely going to want to have this, thankfully 6" ducting isn't to expensive. Also buy these, so much easier than duct tape and these for managing the ducting. This and this too for supporting the inline fan and filter, the inline fan at full power will vibrate very slightly and I feel that the bungee cords help minimize vibration. I usually use zip ties for managing cords but also as a precautionary measure, I have a few loosely secured zip ties on my inline fans just in case a bungee cord were to become unsecured which that has never happened thankfully but you can never be to safe.
I use Paper Binder Clips. They come in a variety of sizes and are multi-purpose.
a d clip should hold his cage door shut. you might want to go with one of those fancy wire clips they have for laundry / hipster chip bags (just make sure it doesn't have a coating on it that he could chew off).
he is bored; bored as fuck. give him shit to do / think about:
get him lots of safe things to chew, lots of stuff to tunnel with, change out a toy each day, see if the wheel can attach to the bars & move it so it can't get filled (though some gerbils just don't like wheels), get some gerbil playpens & a sheet or something & shape it into mazes / interesting terrain with tunnels he can explore, add a bit of variety to their diet/treats rotation (look up what's safe on the sidebar's links), teach him tricks, introduce him to new scents.
dunno about introducing another gerb, i never had to deal with that. i did see someone using a soft, childrens' toothbrush to simulate another gerbil grooming their pet. give him a treat and pet him with the bristles a bit, see how he likes it.
and here's
130120 various sizes for under $8 USDlooks good, protip for next time, these binder clips work just as well for holding minis up, and are made of heavy metal, so they don't blow over or get dislodged easily

Good question, and it pains me a bit that I have a small box of unused tools that were purchased when I began. I'm sure I missed a few things, but here you go:
If links weren't provided then I already had the item.
I always go for personal stuff. So my Carcassonne set has the roads and monasteries themed after the Super Mario Brothers 3 world maps. The castle pieces didn't play nice with 8bit aesthetics so I kept the wobbly shapes and just filled them in with things we've done together, movies we've seen, dates we've been on, etc so that when a castle is built it's made out of our relationship. Which is WAAAY more symbolic and sweet than I intended it to be originally when I panicked after my Mario Brothers plan went to shit. Bought a little wooden chest with a latch for piece storage and burned the score track onto the top of it.
Catan will probably be similar in nature. I just haven't sourced out the wooden hexes yet or planned out if I'm using actual Catan cards or getting my own printed, etc. She likes Breaking Bad a lot, maybe I'll make an island based around meth production.
One of the things I found helped me with my versatool was using a large binder clip on the edge of my table. If you squeeze the little shiney wing you can take it off of the body, slip it around the cord, then reattach it to the body of the clip so that it acts like a catch for the rheostat.
8 hours!? YOU'RE AN ANIMAL! A MACHINE! If you've got about $10 go pick up a crappy burner from WalMart and try it out. At the very least you'll be able to identify if your versatool is holding you back or if you just have a slow, methodical pace.

I get all my fleece from JoAnn stores. They often have fleece at 50% off per yard, so you can buy it in bulk and use it as needed. Any large fabric store will have lots of fleece in stock (I just prefer JoAnn because that's the best one I have in the area I live in). I'm sure you know this already, but just in case, please don't use cedar or pine chips as bedding for your rats; it's harmful to them. You can use fleece or aspen chip bedding (but freeze the aspen for 48 hours prior to use to make sure it's free of parasites).
I buy many rat toys on Amazon, and make some myself. If you're buying any kind of wooden rat toy, do be aware that many of them are made from soft woods like pine and cedar, which are super bad for rat respiratory systems. Hardwood toys are usually safe—just make sure it's not a combination wood that also has pine or cedar in it along with the hardwood. I personally do not buy wood toys on amazon, because the products often don't list what kind of wood they're made of. The only wood product I buy on Amazon is bags of untreated apple branch chewing sticks. I'll link you to some rat-safe toys and accessories I buy on amazon below! :)

I buy Harlan Teklad (Envigo) food blocks for my rats, which is one of the top two for rats (the other is Oxbow Regal Rat). Harland Teklad is hard to find though, so I buy mine through this animal rescue:
http://weecompanions.org/healthy-food
If you get these blocks, freeze them to extend their shelf life, and take them out from the freezer as needed to fill your ratties' bowls. Harlan Teklad is great because they have several formulas for rats based on their age, which is super helpful for their health. Young rats up to 8 months usually eat Harlan Teklad 2016 (16% protein), and after 8 months they eat Harlan Teklad 2014 (14% protein).
Also, I don't have a link for this, but the best laundry detergents to use to wash your rats' cloth toys or bedding with is one that's non-scented and is sensitive on skins.
Um, if I think of anything else, I'll add it. But for now, it's already a ton. :P Enjoy!
(And feel free to message me if you have any questions!)
Dont pay them for another band its a huge rip off.
Get this
or jerry rig something to make it stay on, but its def not worth paying to just replace your band.

Because pink is the new black . That's why. :b
Indeed.
They do have a name, but it's not "alligator clips." They're binder clips. Bulldog clips are yet another type of clip.
Not ideal, but you can get by with Binder clips. They give you a flat base to stand the pawns on and are removable. Downside is you'd either need to remove the arms or accept having the art partly covered.
Example of what I mean:
https://www.amazon.com/ACCO-Binder-Clips-Large-72100/dp/B002VD6BLG
http://www.amazon.com/ACCO-Binder-Clips-Small-72020/dp/B005W8NSYK
Drivers license, one credit card, and some cash.
I haven't tried the clover clips but I use regular binder clips most of the time. They don't leave any little holes and I'm not about to accidentally have one go under my foot and risk breaking a needle.
I use Google Drive to create my icons, as it is the least time consuming method I could think of. The end result is something along these lines, but with a thicker border to allow for easier cutting. Attach them to a binder clip and it works pretty well so far.
It took a little trial and error to get the right size but the icon above fits perfectly within a square grid. And the binder clip can be written on to easily identify the amount of a certain type of monster (5 zombies, for instance).
Here's a great add-on item :)
That was a great video, thanks. I've had several recommendations for rubber bands. We'll probably try that next time. Certainly seems easier. I was also considering paper clips like these instead of attaching the combs at the top with string. These would have the advantage of being easier to put in and take out.
BECAUSE I'M IN A HOLLY JOLLY FRIGGEN MOOD
okay I'll calm down now. I just love everything about Christmas, but the last two years have been pretty crappy for me. I try to make the best of it, but the best part lately is booze filled hot cocoa and cookies.
here's 3 ideas:
one || two || three
I added a Nessie ladle to my Amazon wishlist. I also just found these adorable bag clips and I squealed a little. :-P
I've used binder clips. Put a piece of paper in it, then take off the metal pieces.
Turns out pretty nice ^(not my pic), and the little ones are only about 3/4 inch wide.

something like this?
Hey, finally something I can answer from personal experience.
I was in a similar boat where I didn't want to sink a bunch of money into the game for a projector until I was sure the campaign was going to last a while.
You can get set up for months for about $45. If this is a problem see if your players can chip in $5-$10 each or something.
One inch grid paper is your friend. You can get 27x34 sheets of it off Amazon for about 32 cents a sheet ($31.99 for 100 sheets )
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AQDGJRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iIo4AbG33KRFC
For minis you can use paper as well. I recommend getting 1" binder clips and printing off your own minis. You can buy 144 of these off of Amazon for $11
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2WB1RL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jRo4Ab0QTWK5S
I used Publisher, but there's a free version called Libre Office Draw. Make a bunch of 3x1 squares in it on an normal sheet of paper and put in images from Google for all of your monsters. You'll want to make them double-sided so the paper sticks up (One row right side down and the other right side up).
You can fit a lot on one sheet of paper. Then print them off either at home, work/school if they allow it, or do it at a print store for less than a dollar.
Let me know if you have any questions.
You gotta clamp it down to the bed, or it'll move during printing. I use the smallest of binder clips on the corners and it works great.

Also, I've tried most of the adhesion solutions out there and I've had the best luck with hairspray as an adhesive. Specifically Aqua Net hairspray. Or if you can't find that, some kind of super duper ultra level 10 Hold hairspray. I print PLA, PETG, and even polycarbonate and it works great. I get a nice, flat glossy finish on the bed side of the print.
Yes, the glass is super conductive to heat and I use the same heat temps that I would use if I printed straight to the bed. As a matter of fact I rarely go above 50C on any of the filaments I mentioned above with success. I credit the glass to distribute the heat more evenly across the surface compared to the hot spots /cool spots you'll get with the aluminum bed alone.
Now, one caveat of using glass is that you're adding more weight to the bed and at higher print speeds and with the Y axis jerking back and forth, you'll see imperfections in your print of you don't have the printer's frame good and tight. I don't have all those cool frame upgrades on mine like a lot of folks do because I aim more for finish quality than speed, so I rarely get above 65mm/s on any print on the Anet.
I have a larger CoreXY that I built that I can get up above 100mm/s with good results but I rarely run it that high either. My benefits from it are larger build area.
The only improvements I've made to the A8 aside from a better power supply and Mosfet for the heat bed for safety, is the glass bed, a Bowden extruder, belt tensioners and these little guys :
Base Attachment Anet A8 found on #Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2123364
Those base clamps produced the biggest improvement in my prints of anything I've done.(As far as frame stability is concerned)
I bought a cheap Ikea table and screwed the A8 down to it and now the whole thing is rock solid.
I get really nice stuff from my little A8 and I've had it 3 years now. I bought it when you could only get them from China, before they were available on Amazon.
If I had it to do over again the only thing i would change is probably the Bowden system. It's a bit of overkill for my needs since I'm not looking for more speed. But it is easier to load filament into than the stock extruder.
Please know these things I've suggested have helped me, but your mileage may vary depending on your printing needs. There are tons of opinions of what is best and what is not as far as upgrades.
I don't carry cash, just ID and payment cards with one of these, I get 12 for $5 so it's pretty economical.

Something like this is intended for use with miniatures, so it'll be similar to the kinds you'd buy once you have minis...
But I would recommend making standees like these. All you need is binder clips and paper. No glue, they just naturally clamp closed around paper. Couldn't be simpler. Printer and scissors. I personally prefer them to minis.
The best solution you can get for printing PETG without any warping is a glass bed with PVA glue. I would highly recommend getting a borosilicate (Pyrex) glass plate. Borosilicate glass has a VERY low coefficient for thermal expansion so it extremely resistant to thermal shock and the breakage that comes with it. I had the piece of glass for my CR-10 cut to size at a local glass shop as glass beds were not offered anywhere for the CR-10 at the time. However now you can go on Amazon and pay a very reasonable price for a nice glass bed. Such as this which is less than half the price that I had to pay about two years ago. Ooof!
Take your glass sheet and attach it directly on top of the metal heated bed that the CR-10 has with binder clips. It is a very simple but extremely effective way to keep the glass tightly attached without issue while also allowing a quick and simple process for removing prints and swapping print surfaces.
Then, it is time for the star of the show, the PVA glue! Now, before you get intimidated by the exotic sounding glue (like I did when I first heard about having to use it), just know that it is literally just Elmer's Disappearing Purple Gluestick. This is seriously one of the BEST tools for anyone who prints somewhat exotic or finicky materials. Uncap the glue and evenly coat the glass with a light coating and you are ready to go. When I say light, I mean just one pass over each spot, do not do more than one coat, that one coat is plenty! The best part is that it is disappearing, so when you apply the glue and it still has a bit of moisture, it is a dark purple, however once it sits for about 30 seconds on a bed that is heating up it loses its color and becomes more translucent so you can see exactly what parts of the bed are coated well and which parts you may need to touch up. When the glue has lost its color and the glass looks like it is a bit hazy or foggy then you are ready to print!
PETG can be a bit tricky to print if you are coming from PLA but it is very rewarding once you dial it in.
I would suggest that you either use a low fan setting of 25% or less (except when bridging which should be 100%) or do not use the fan at all (again unless bridging). PETG is a material that wants to stay hot and slowly cool on its own. It does not like to be hit with a fan instantly after being laid down like PLA. PETG actually fuses itself together at the layers which makes it have extremely strong layer adhesion, whereas a properly formed PETG print cannot be separated at the layer lines because of this fusing effect. (This is why you NEVER print PETG directly onto PEI as it can fuse with the PEI and tear the PEI off of the bed.)
​
I would also suggest that you run a hotter bed temperature. I personally print PETG with a bed temp between 85 and 100, depending on the brand of PETG I am using.
There is one VERY important end of print step to safely and successfully print PETG. When the print is finished, DO NOT let the bed cool to ambient temperature while the print is still attached! You MUST set your end of G Code to reduce the bed temperature to about 60% of the temperature it was while printing. This is a very important step so that your piece does not break your glass bed! This is especially important as the printed pieces get larger and have a larger contact surface with the bed. If you allow the print and glass bed to cool to ambient on their own then you are dramatically increasing the chance that the print will cool too rapidly and shrink while still attached to the glass and end up breaking the glass.
This may seem like a lot of things to do to print PETG but when you see the final result and how strong and beautiful PETG can be printed it is all well worth the effort.
​
One final tip about PETG is that it is very hygroscopic (not as bad as Nylon but still noticeable and much worse than PLA) and needs to be taken care of for it to print well. PETG needs to be stored in airtight bags with desiccant packs while it is being stored. PETG should never be left out in the open air for longer than it needs to be. If the roll is not currently supplying a print then it MUST be stored properly. If you allow your PETG to sit out and absorb the water from the air, it will print very poorly and never give good results. If you are printing PETG and can hear a crackling or hissing sound at the nozzle, then your PETG is too wet and needs to be fixed! The crackling and hissing sound that can be heard is the water that has been absorbed by the PETG being instantly boiled and turned to steam when it hits the hotend. This is most noticeable with Nylon but poorly kept PETG will also exhibit this same behavior.
​
If you have any questions or need me to clarify something please ask and I will gladly do my best to help! PETG is well worth the hassle and learning curve as the results that can be achieved with it are truly amazing.
Three ring binders the kind with transparent pockets on at least the outside - your DM can print anything they need and slip in those pockets (this is usually the player's side so you may want to suggest the things you frequently look up as fodder for this side). The ring binder side I usually load with a few page holders (transparent plastic pockets) and as DM I load these with printouts of the things I need to look up frequently as a DM).
You can put multiple binders (at least two) together so that they help each other stand up - I usually make them stick together by using those 'pinch style' paper clips... ACCO Binder Clips you see them in this link

You can remove the wings once the binders are clamped together. :D
>and banning large clips
Why would you want to ban these
I haven't tried this yet but I've seen people use these things:
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Small-Binder-Silver-10200VP/dp/B00B9GTBYA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1463623365&sr=8-4&keywords=binder+clip
and put a tack on the handle of it to hold it. Instead of a tack some people use this instead with the binder clips:
http://www.amazon.com/Command-Large-Plastic-Hooks-White/dp/B000M3V8XI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1463623579&sr=8-9&keywords=utility+hook
I feel like this is an upside, usually a pain breaking the clasp.
You can go to will call and they probably would give you a replacement for a price.
Or you can buy a replacement like this :

Thing is, your bulk container will invariably be smaller than the bag the lentils or rice or beans came in. So now you end up with beans in 3 containers, a small one, a bulk one, and original packaging.
Instead secure the original packaging using large binder clips like this one
"Free" office supplies are also a source of binder clips ;)
Sure are...

Didn't know if you knew about this guy: $0.58 Paper Clips to be used for Add-on
Only for if you find yourself just under the threshold for minimum shipping and don't want to pay shipping or buy a more expensive item to get free shipping.
CREDIT: That link and tip came to me by, I think, u/Ibabinz)
You can get them for 7 cents/unit or less if you buy in bulk.
I've just been using these hooked on the lip of my dresser and loop the cords through the metal arms.
I have a bunch of cheap binder clips for holding large pieces in place. If I don't trust the glue, I just remove them individually as I sew.
I use binder clips to weigh down the bags. Like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VD6BLG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0X0NybEKRKBBE

My female Lovebird breaks out of every cage that has this type of door. Since she started plucking her mates head feathers I had to separate them, which doesn't work if she opens the doors herself.
I used "binder clips" to keep her locked in. She did get the handles of the clips off (not sure how she did that) but the clip itself stayed in place. Not sure if it's helpful with a cockatoo.
I use the silver part of a small binder clip with the prongs bent down.
Warning: Shitty MS Paint diagram
Amazon has Festival Clips, I’m sure there are different styles and colors, if you can’t get those attached.
I did something similar for Mines of Phandelver and bought a butt-load of small binder clips on amazon. Mine aren't as nice as yours but the clips work perfectly!

I use a lot of recycled materials (primarily plastic cups, containers, etc) for paint mixing or creating new tones for my pigments. For example I use a lot of these disposable contact lens containers for paint pots.
​
I find Binder Clips to be helpful sometimes or Alligator Clipsto hold things together.
​
I use blue masking tape a ton by folding it so it is sticking up and holding small pieces so they won't fly away when I airbrush them.
​
Lastly, I love my toothpicks and non-hardening clay technique for painting wheels and other items
​
*OP, just want to say this is a great post and I just bookmarked it/added a tone of things to my amazon wishlist.
There is a cute woodland creature bag clip set I have on my wish list you might like! They are just so cute!!
You could break off that part and use a wristband clip to keep it on your wrist.
