I really appreciate Carbide 3D providing us with files to 3D print our own clamps, but I didn’t find the 3D printed versions very robust (I’m using PETG-CF). I designed these chunkier versions and I’ve been very happy with them.
I used PETG and have had no issues with mine. It helps if you print them on the sides and full infill.
I agree… with 3D printing orientation is key for strength.
I’ve been printing 6mm socket head bolts 40-60 mm long, fair results, got to be careful on torque.
I would like to print the bolt laying down for strength. Anyone have hints on doing this.
Print the bolt in halves?
Add a dimple and divot for alignment , then super glue. Send thru threading die is what I’m thinking . Just don’t know if worth truble
