Corner clamp

A few months back, I was busy crafting a checklist for one of my artwork pieces. I quickly realized that making 45-degree wooden connections wasn't an easy task, so I decided to create a 3D printed tool for this purpose. I drew inspiration from one of my earlier designs of a compact vise as a guide. My main motivation for developing puzzle connections is that this design can be printed nearly twice as large as your printbed. Required Parts: M8 bolt rod approximately 120 mm long (5/16 inch, 4.5 inches long) - 2 units M8 hex nuts (5/16 inch) - 6 units Printed Components: Base_V4 - 2 units Slider_V4 - 2 units Knob_V4 - 2 units Endcap_V4 - 1 unit Note that a Single Endcap_V4 is not necessary to print; it's an optional feature for users who print only one base. Insert the M8 nuts in place, heat them using a solder iron to melt and lock them if there are any minor misalignments. Print Settings: Rafting: Supports: Resolution: Infill: I employed 20% infill on the base and 40% on the remaining parts for added durability. A few pieces required a small brim to prevent warping during the printing process.
