CHAMP challenge clamp submissions

My NASA CHAMP challenge clamp submission ensures a seamless 3D printing process with both parts printed together as one assembly for hassle-free use. The clamp design revolves around a sturdy hinge capable of withstanding 125 lbf, while allowing easy detachment using minimal force in the microgravity environment of ISS. To address potential 3D printing challenges in space, the design is free from overhangs that cause print defects on Earth. The installation process involves placing the assembly behind the clamp, aligning the handrail with the matching slot in CHAMP assembly, and securing it by closing the latch over the handrail.
