Quickmount for Adam Savage LED workbench light.

thingiverse

I was motivated to create one of Adam Savage's impressive custom LED workbench lights, but I wanted a more adaptable mounting option. As a big fan of the quick-release clamps that can be operated with just one hand, I thought this type of solution would be perfect. I decided to use a Harbor Freight 12-inch ratcheting clamp ($3.99) as the core and designed a mount for the lamp that would replace the far end of the clamp. My goal was to incorporate all of the clamp parts making it a direct swap. I also wanted to be able to plug and unplug a power supply from the lamp, so I made a wiring harness out of some standard male and female barrel connectors that I have a lot of for other LED projects. I designed a press-fit hole for the female connector end and a slot for the rest of the connector wire... it's working great so far. This is the first version and I didn't quite hit my goal, the bolt isn't long enough for where the nut trap is and I'm hesitant about making it deeper which would leave very little material between the nut and the clamp bar. For now, I'm just using a longer bolt and large washer. The one I'm testing now was printed with 40% infill and 6-layer walls all around.
