Bessey TG4.5 Series Bar Clamp Pads PN 3101395

prusaprinters

I bought some Bessey TG4.540 clamps from the HD and it took maybe an hour after bringing them home before I lost one of the @#$% pads.No problem I figure, Bessey offers replacement pads and I can probably just pick some up from The Big River so let's just take a look...HOLY CRAP THAT PRICE do they think I don't have a 3D printer? WELL I DO and now we all have a better solution.Included are the round pad for the movable jaw and a standard pad that covers just the wider face of the fixed jaw, similar to the OEM model. Also included is a long version for the fixed jaw that gives you a lot more clamping surface. Both fixed jaw models are improved from the OEM version, after working with this I tore off the pads that hadn't fallen off of my remaining clamps and replaced them all with the printed version - they're that much better!Notes: These all print fine in TPU without any supports. In PrusaSlicer I set the perimeters to 100 to force the slicer to create a fully-solid print while chasing the edge contours instead of using 100% infill, which should result in a very strong print.
