Nut&Bolt-based strong G-Clamp with flexible pads

thingiverse

I needed a robust G-Clamp to secure items on the shelf effectively. The existing g-clamp model knobs were not as intuitive and convenient as I had envisioned. Additionally, I had a flex filament sample and decided to incorporate flexible pads, recommending that you use plastan/elastan/flex plastic to print them. **Important Safety Notes!** 1. I used 40mm M8 bolts and nuts with 13mm wide hexagonal heads, which were sufficient for my application. However, if you need to clamp narrower items, a longer bolt is required, exceeding the length of the one shown in my photos - at least 65mm M8 with a 13mm hexagonal head. 2. If you don't use flexible material for pads, you should increase the gaps between the groove and pad spike or omit them altogether. **Update:** I have added a photo featuring a 75mm M8 bolt as the first option. The SolidWorks assembly source is included, allowing you to customize it freely. Simplify3D factory files are also available.
