PARALLEL CLAMP

prusaprinters

<p>My take on a parallel clamp.</p><p>This is the style of clamp that has both rods threaded for tightening.</p><p><i>If you are looking for a TOOLMAKERS CLAMP, which uses the front rod for clamping and the rear rod for leverage, a version is available here: &nbsp;</i><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/248020-toolmakers-clamp"><i><strong>TOOLMAKERS CLAMP</strong></i></a></p><p>Narrow-tipped clamp downloads available as well.</p><p>100% printed parts. No hardware or glue needed.&nbsp;</p><p>No supports needed.</p><p><strong>Assembly is easy:</strong><br><strong>1. </strong>Arrange the bottoms of the clamps flat against each other and align the holes.<br><strong>2.</strong> Insert the adjustment rods, passing through the larger hole and screwing into the threaded section of the opposite clamp.<br><strong>3. </strong>Screw in the rods until they bottom out.<br><strong>4.</strong> Slide the cap over the top of the rod handles and thread them into the clamps until they bottom out and lock in place. (The cap flange protrudes over the edges of the clamp so you can get a grip.)<br>***Note that the adjustment rods must be turned at the same rate, and at the same time to prevent binding.***</p><p>ENJOY!!!</p>
