P3Steel Y 8mm Clip On Smooth Rod Clamp - Screwless, Minimalistic, Simple

First Upload: Simple Clip-On Clamp for P3Steel's Y Axis This is a straightforward clip-on style clamp designed specifically for the Y axis of P3Steel printers, but it may also work on the Z axis, although that has not been tested or verified. While there are other similar designs available on Thingiverse, this particular design stands out by using a unique mechanism that eliminates the need for screws and nuts. Compared to other designs that can restrict Y travel by 10mm or more, this clamp reduces Y travel by just 2mm. To use this design, simply rotate it upright in your slicer software, print it, and attach it to the corresponding rod using a smooth clip-on motion. For optimal performance, you'll need two clamps per smooth rod, resulting in four total clamps for the entire Y axis. UPDATE: Following feedback from users, I've been informed that this design has significant flaws and may not print correctly. As such, I strongly advise against printing this design until further modifications can be made to address these issues. Design Process: The creation of this clamp took approximately 10 minutes in Sketchup software.
