Clamping Knob For M8 Nut

myminifactory

While gearing up for a family trip the day after one of the locking knobs for the car's rooftop bike rack snapped. Since the locking knob secures a standard M8 nut, I could have simply used a wrench to tighten it, but instead, I chose to create a new one. This is a locking knob designed to hold a M8 nut and can be installed on a M8 threaded rod. What makes 3D printing so exciting is the ability to fabricate your own replacement parts.
