Woodworking Frame Clamps

thingiverse

A buddy was working on a woodworking project and had some straightforward frame clamps that caught my attention. I decided to create my own design based on theirs. You can use these clamps for holding simple picture frames and boxes in place while gluing them together. You'll need to print four of these corners, then head to the hardware store to get the following parts: * 1/4-20 wingnuts (four of them) * 1/4-20 nuts (four of them) * 1/4-20 threaded rods (four, cut to your desired length) * 1/4 washers (four) The total cost for these hardware pieces is around $5, and you can even save money by buying longer threaded rods and cutting them down to size. These corners print smoothly without any support needed. However, make sure they're printed flat on the surface. If one leg of the "L" shape points upwards, it may break during use.
