Lever for Harbor Freight bar clamp

prusaprinters

<p>I bought a couple of bar clamps from Harbor Freight a few years ago. The first time I used them, they both broke. This thing is my replacement for the broken lever. I have put more pressure on this one than it took to break the original ones, so hopefully I now have two good clamps.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Hand Tools Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> FlashForge Creator pro</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> Doesn't Matter</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>I took a picture of the broken part with the pieces in place. Then I imported the picture into inkscape, traced around the image, and saved the svg file.</p> <p>I imported the svg into 123D design as a sketch, extruded it to the dimension of the lever, and then added the holes. I made a few changes to the shape to strengthen as much as possible.</p>
