Clamping questions

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

Those are cam clamps.

We have a design in our 3D print library:

Introducing the Carbide 3D Print Library

With a significant number of makers out there owning a Shapeoko, Nomad and a 3D printer, we wanted to set up a place where users could get spare parts if in a bind as well as to be able to share concepts we’ve been playing with which would be suited to 3D printing. We have about 50 models, from Active Project Tray to Z Clamps. We have more ideas and files in the works, but we thought this would be a good starting point. Generally speaking, these models should be printable on most 3D printers.…

Re-creating a CAM clamp

There is a Cam Clamp design at: https://carbide3d.com/3d-print/cam-clamp/ which is available as an STL, but cutting thus would require Carbide Create Pro, which this 2.5D design should not need. Opening the file we get: [image] so create a new file of suitable dimensions: [image] and import the STL: [image] which imports as expected: [image] which can then have the outline traced: [image] at various heights: [image] [image] [image] [image] which then need to have multip…
