Quick Adjust G-Clamp With Universal Mount

Human: (Update 2/24/2019: improved alignment of clips on pad, 3 files changed to version 1a) This g-clamp gets a boost from a locking lever, allowing for quick adjustments in position. A dovetail mount is integrated into the design, making it easy to attach items to bookshelves and tables. My Pac-Man themed headphone stand is a great example of this feature: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3450967 The clamp prints without supports and snaps together seamlessly. There are 45-degree overhangs and some bridging involved, so make sure your printer can handle these features if you're printing the lever part. For best results, I recommend printing with at least three perimeters and a decent amount of infill to ensure the clamp is stiff enough. You can also scale this design up or down in size over a wide range. A shorter version of the clamp doesn't extend as far onto the surface you're attaching it too. To assemble the clamp, follow the video guide: https://youtu.be/DiqC5PKDQAA The dovetail mount has a hole through its center, allowing for the option to use a long M3 screw to hold items in place. I've also included models of the dovetail mount and corresponding socket, so you can easily graft them onto other designs. The socket should print in multiple orientations without supports as long as you're comfortable with some bridging and overhangs. I don't charge for my models, and I don't expect tips. However, posting your creations makes it worthwhile for me.
