Strong Modular Clamp Mk2

thingiverse

Human: *Second attempt at a strong and customizable clamp*\r\n\r\nTo create this clamp, you'll need to print at least:\r\n* 1 Clamp Base\r\n* 1 Basic Screw\r\n* 1 Threaded Insert\r\n* 1 Ball socketed insert\r\n* 1 additional insert of any style\r\n\r\nIn practice, use the shortest / smallest screw and clamp base possible to achieve the best strength.\r\n\r\nI'd like to develop a better "clip in" standard, as this was my first attempt at a snap-in part. My goal for the hexagon connector was ease of print and a strong joint under compression. It achieves this, but is probably a little more complicated than it needs to be.\r\n\r\nSince it's made from PLA, it's surprisingly strong, again printing smaller parts will result in a stronger grip. I'm being honest, the 125mm design is pushing the limits of the material a bit too far.\r\n\r\nThis clamp is not designed for use on Yaks
