Twist-lock 2020V-Slot Flatcable clamp

thingiverse

Print the Bill clip as an STL file without supports, insert it into the frame, rotate 90 degrees clockwise to secure it, slide in the cable, and you're done. I'm having trouble describing the clips/clamps/thingies, so I've decided to give them a name. Bill: The Bill clip is 10 x 20 mm. You insert it inline with the profile and twist it clockwise to lock. Now the clip is perpendicular to the extrusion, and the cable runs parallel to the extrusion. Bill is the clip you need for running a cable alongside an extrusion. George: The George clip is 20 x 20 mm. You insert it perpendicular to the extrusion and twist it clockwise to lock. Now the clip is inline with the extrusion, and the cable runs perpendicular. George is the clip you need to hold a cable that crosses the extrusion. # V1: Bill v1.stl This is my first version of the Bill clip, 10x20mm, but the twist-lock-peg is slightly off-center, so I've made an adjustment. # V2: Bill v2.stl Bill v2 PK6 I've created this version with the same function as before, but now the clip ends up dead-straight on the V-slot extrusion. I needed to hold cables oriented 90 degrees rotated, so I created George v2.stl using a 10x20 mm format. However, it was hard to print and didn't sit well on the extrusion, so I made it 20x20mm. # V3: George v3.stl George v3 PK6.stl The 20x20 rotated version was very hard to twist-lock and -unlock, so I loosened it just a tad. Print one of each first and see which one you like best. # V4: Bill v4 PK6.stl George v4 PK6.stl I've heard reports that the PK6 version is a little too tight to twist. They should twist and lock easily, stay in place when bumped, but be able to be moved with a little bit of force. The following files have the lock-nut slightly further out to hopefully hit this delicate balance. # So, what version to print? If you're using a regular 2020 V-Slot extrusion, like Ender printers or Tevo printers (with a 6mm gap in the profile), then I recommend printing Bill v2 and George v3. If you're using a PK6 frame with a 5 mm gap in the profile, print either v3 "PK6" or, if it's too hard to twist, try v4 "PK6". # Requests? If you need any adaptations, please let me know. I enjoy creating these little things.
