Alternative Pivot Design
grabcad
An innovative design for Champs Clamp V3.03's pivot incorporates three printed spheres instead of a pin while retaining the in-place printing approach. In shear force, these spheres will align with the print deposition direction. Upon hinge activation, they can rotate around any axis. The likelihood of two axes being normal to the print at once is considered highly improbable for all three spheres. Assumptions include spheres disconnecting from clamp parts and freely rotating. Testing will confirm this through printing, actuation, and sectional analysis.
