Clamps?

I saw this clamp somewhere on the web and decided to make some for myself. I made them a bit large and a bit small. One takes a 4-40 screw and the other a 2-56 screw. Drew the clamp body up in Fusion 360 then exported it as a 3D file.... I also decided to print little screw caps for the screws because my old fat fingers need all the help they can get.2024-01-31.png20240223_075100.jpg20240223_075108.jpg20240223_075049.jpg

Hi Phil, are willing to share the STL files for these clamps and knobs? Or perhaps you have them listed on Thingiverse.com … I haven’t looked…

please see attached - and I found that 2-56 socket head cap screws work great. The brackets do have to be tapped BTW.....I drew these up in Fusion 360...

Wow they look nice.
Can you post a photo of the clamps in action?
Are you sure you have enough for yourself , or are you planning to sell them?
