Labels for Retaining Clip

I added entries for retaining clips, specifically E-clips and interior ring clips. They don’t have simple shapes (like washers), but luckily, I can rotoscope them by throwing them on the scanner bed, scanning them, and tracing those scans in Inkscape.

E-Clips

I only needed two sizes – so I only bought two sizes – so only two were drawn out (since I’m only making these on a personal as-needed basis).

Also included is the lip and drawer label for the Craftsman 30 tray cabinet system.

Interior Rings

I got sucked into buying another variety tackle box (grr! Tackle boxes!!), so a whole set was made.

Issue With Inconsistent Template Design

Something to address is that the template system for these labels is inconsistent.

Sure, they have a few enforced thematic elements:

  • Rectangular region
  • Actual-size silouette
  • Color/finish triangle at the top right
  • Bolded name
  • Extra important tails

But then a lot of other changes exist, mainly as a sacrifice to keep the labels compact. Also, sacrifices are made to have a good layout for whatever specific object is being labeled. And that goes for all objects in the repository.

Hopefully, I can eventually find a universal system that is consistent and well-formed for any object and label.
