Adjustable power strip clamp mount

thingiverse

Clamp to mount power strips/boards under desks non-destructively (instead of using a mount that screws into the desk). Helps to organise computer cables, particularly for standing desks. Adjustable width to fit a variety of power strip sizes.Features:Fits desks up to:--- Regular size: 25 mm/1 inch thick--- Large size: 50 mm/2 inches thickFits power strips 60 - 90 mm wide and 35 mm thickMounts power strips in vertical orientation to reduce interference with desk frames (e.g. standing desks)Parts:Clamp, screw (large) and pad - main body that clamps to the deskArm - adjustable lower portion of the power strip mounting area. Raise/lower to fit different power strip widthsScrew and nut - fixes the arm in place. Nut fits into the hex nut groove of the armInstructions:Pick the clamp size that fits your desk thicknessPrint two sets (1 of each part) to mount at both ends of your power strip. All parts are shared between the different clamp sizesInsert the nut into the groove in the armPlace the arm against the bottom of the clamp and pass the smaller screw through to the nutPass the larger screw through the clampPlace the pad onto the ball joint of the larger screw. It should snap into place with some pressurePlace the clamp onto the desk and tighten the larger screw until the clamp is snugly - against the desk. Be careful of overtightening as you may damage your desk surfaceLoosen the smaller screw and slide your power strip onto the arm. Push the arm up until the power strip fits snugly and tighten the smaller screw againPrint settings:Print as orientatedLayer height: 0.16 mm for smoother threadsWalls: 2 is sufficientInfill: 15% adaptive cubic is sufficientSupports: not necessary, but may be needed for the hole in the clamp's powerboard mount area depending on your printer's bridging abilities (see picture). Easiest to use support blockers under the C clamp threads and let your slicer auto-generate supports for this holeDepending on how well your printer can print the threads, you may need to scale down the screws by 0-5% for a better fitNotes:I designed the mount to fit the variety of power strip sizes I had. If you have larger power strips (e.g. double row of sockets), feel free to let me know the width and depth so I can adjust the design to fit your use caseUpdates:Hex nut changed to square nut for easier tightening (reduced rotation) of the armHook added to top part of clamp to stop smaller power strips falling forwards and outLarge version of clamp added for thicker desks - fits up to 50 mm/2 inch thicknessCustom requested versions:Taller desks - Clamp (75 mm) fits desks up to 75 mm thickTaller boards - Clamp and Arm (55 mm depth) fits boards up to 55 mm thick
