Single-piece micromill clamps

thingiverse

A Simple Clamp Design for 3018 Mill or Similar Machines. This versatile clamp is designed as a one-piece unit, although it does include two screws that can be used to secure the workpiece in place. The angled screw holes are strategically positioned to apply gentle pressure against the workpiece once they're fully seated, preventing any movement during operation. When assembling this clamp, users should opt for a 4mm wood screw or a similar alternative to ensure a secure hold on their workpiece. Due to the unique design of this clamp, it's not uncommon for users to find themselves in need of a solution like this, especially when compared to relying solely on double-sided tape. For those looking for an upgraded locking mechanism, I've also created a variant available on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3292096.
