Versatile PCB Clamp and Holder

thingiverse

When soldering printed circuit boards (PCBs) it is necessary to clamp the PCB. This is a simple holder that lets you clamp the PCB (or wire) that needs to be soldered. The different sides of the clamps offer different clamping possiblities. So you can work on wires, large PCBs, small PCBs and funny shaped PCBs with just one versatile PCB holder.The threaded parts are designed to be printed with a layer height of 0.16mm or smaller. A larger layer height can lead to seizing threads. I recommend to use at least 4 walls and 10% gyroid infill to make the thread extra robust.All other parts can bei printed with a layer height of 0.2mm, 4 walls and 8% gyroid infill.Support is not necessary.Assembly is self-explaning. The clamps have a built-in spacer of 0.4mm on each clamp. This is perfect for PCBs with a thickness of 1.0mm or larger. If you work on PCB foils or PCBs under 1.0mm thickness, turn the clamps around and use the flat side without the spacer.Use some candle wax on the thread to make it run smoother.Disclaimer:This work by blecheimer is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0You are not allowed to copy this model to other 3D printing websites without my permission.
