Mini C-Clamp (with interchangeable end-caps)

I needed some clamps to hold parts together while the glue dried.I had problems with other clamps that had flat ends because they would slide off of parts that were not flat and/or had a texture.Also the threaded parts were not strong enough because of the orientation they were printed (layer lines made them weak).I designed the threaded parts to be printed on their side (the flat part doesn't affect the function of the threads).There is a long and short version of the bolt and clamp depending on your needs.The Clamp has a support for the ball that is easily removed. The caps are interchangeable so you can change them depending on what you are clamping.If anyone needs a different cap for a certain purpose, I can create it if you give me the specifics.I made brims for all the caps except the flat one because Prusa Slicer didn't make them correctly.  In my case, I needed brims for all of them except the flat ones, but I included both in case you want to try it without. The "Bolt_Knob" should be press fit, but you can glue it if it is too loose.I also designed holders for the caps not being used so they won't get lost.I designed a 3x3, a 4x4, and a 5x5.  I can make other combinations if needed.
