Printable Desk Clamp

thingiverse

This is a desk clamp designed to hold a PCB, inspired by Lady Ada's tool in her instructions. Despite requiring more super glue than anticipated, it works after being printed. However, the base is small, making it unstable. Improvements include a larger base and better clamping method. The tar file contains blend, photos, and STL files. Process the STLs into g-code, print the model, and prepare materials for assembly: one base, two clamps, a cap, two knobs, six ballpivots, and two ballclamps. Assemble with super glue, attaching three threaded rods (55mm, 45mm, and 110mm) and two small square brass pieces (95mm). Secure four bigger square brass pieces (12mm and 10mm) without the middle rod. ### New response: This desk clamp is designed to hold a PCB, inspired by Lady Ada's tool in her instructions.
