T-Bolts, Nuts, Wingnuts, and Clamps

thingiverse

I required some clamps to secure work on the new CNC machine I had acquired. I have designed integrated T-Nut and bolt assemblies, so T-bolts. Bolts feature standard M8 threads. I created models for nuts that can be hand tightened, but it was getting strenuous on my hands, so I added wings to make wing nuts. I also incorporated corner clamps into the design. When I used the Makerbot 5G, I had to enlarge the nuts by 5% with PLA. The outcome may vary depending on the printer, slicer, and material used. The clamps in the photos are made from PETG.
