Description

This is my take on Snap-on's excellent (but expensive) soldering clamp.

Allows two wires (or LED strip) to be held in place with the spring loaded clamps. The knob allows you to move wires closer/farther apart without repositioning in the clamps.

Assembly notes:

Relatively easy to assemble (no glue or anything required). See cover image for general assembly.

Put the springs in first. They intentionally need a bit of force, you are best off using something small with a blunt end to push the top of the spring into it's slot (something like the end of a hex wrench, handle of a ratchet or the back of a small screwdriver).
Then Spring covers (each side is different… look for the holes where the clips slot into).
Clips go on next (the part that look like small wheels). Be aware they intentionally don't spin (the connectors are square, not round, so look at the positioning… don't just jam them onto the peg thinking they will fit however).
Screw goes in the small housing body and will slide into place to clip into the large housing.

Really nice design. It printed perfectly and was easy to assemble. The only BUT, was that one of the little tabs at the end of the screw broke when I handled it. however, the screw stays in place without a problem

Looks great! Not so coincidentally, the exact same thing happened to me (where one of the tips of the screw broke), although for me, I was just being stupid and seeing how far it could bend. "Oh, that far, then it breaks..." The good thing is as long as 2/4 of the pins are still there, it should stay/work as intended. Not sure if there's really a way to make them stronger without making them less easy to assemble. The main solution I suppose is to not manhandle the pins on the tip of the screw (which I'm guilty of). :)

This is one of the best things you can print out and its very useful. Printed in PETG with no issues.
