Ipad Mini Yoke Mount Clamp

thingiverse

***V2 - I received a message that the bolt in the original version was rubbing against the yoke. On V2 I extended the bolt mount so the bolt would sit further away from the yoke. If the bolt makes contact with your control yoke or if you are unsure of the dimensions of your yoke, it is probably best to use V2.*** This clamp is specifically designed for helno's wonderful Ipad Mini yoke mount. The rendered parts explosion shows how all of the parts need to be assembled. I used #8 x 32 screws for the hinge instead of the recommended M5's because they are easier for me to get. The threaded rod is 1/4 - 20 as is the dowel barrel nut used as a hinge. I soldered them together, but Loctite would also work. The tightening knob uses a compression spring (5/16" x 1-1/2" x .020") with a 1/4 - 20 nut. The cap can then be glued down using CA. The spring can be omitted if desired, but it keeps good tension on the clamp. I printed the mount at .30mm with six layers and it came out great.
