thingiverse
Clamping knob (or thumbscrew) design featuring internal planetary gears that utilize gear reduction to deliver more torque and/or fine adjustment capabilities. No specific scale has been applied to the .blend file, so it will be up to you to determine the necessary dimensions for a functional clamping mechanism. Feel free to resize or adjust as needed. As this is a prototype design, several improvements can be expected, such as retaining clips and an optimized gear ratio. Nonetheless, this model should provide a solid foundation for understanding how the mechanism is intended to function.
