Hello! This is a remix of johann517's G-Clamp: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1673030 This remixed clamp is meant to be used to relieve a little bit of tension off of the extruder when printing with TPU filament. This prevents the filament from tangling up in the gears. I have an Ender Pro 5 and since my extruder has a hard grip on the filament, printing TPU has been quite the nuisance of mine. Until now! I made a lip on the end of the clamp along with 2 divots to go around the screws as there is not much room to clamp and the original G-Clamp kept slipping off. My extruder only needs to have a little bit of tension relieved for the TPU to not get tangled and still get fed through so do not clamp too hard. Feel it out. Hopefully this works for your extruder. I print this with 100% infill, but less may work fine too. No Supports. PLA.
