Flying Clamp for Tennis Stringing

thingiverse

This is a Flying Clamp for Tennis Stringing. It was put through rigorous testing using my trusty stringing machine. To assemble one flying clamp, you'll need to print two center parts, two side parts and one lever part. When printing these parts, use 60% or more infill to ensure their strength. You will also require additional components: 1) A M6 eye bolt measuring 60mm in length can be sourced from Ali-express. 2) Four D5 x L3mm neodymium magnets are necessary and may also be purchased from Ali-express. 3) Two M5 bolts, one measuring 30mm in length and the other 35mm, will be required. 4) A pair of M5 nuts and a single M6 nut (lock nuts recommended) must be included. 5) Some sandpaper with grits ranging from #200 to #600 will come in handy. 6) Four small tapping screws measuring between 10-12mm in length are essential. A pair of neodymium magnets serves as a substitute for a spring. Place the magnets into the D5-holes so they repel each other. Cut out four pieces of sandpaper using the guide provided and affix them to the parts to prevent string slippage. Some levelling work may be necessary depending on the accuracy of your 3D printing process.
