Adjustable F-clamp (High Strength, Convenient and Practical)

This model is a highly practical, rapidly adjustable quick clamp, measuring 200*70*30mm.

It boasts exceptional strength, versatile applications, and ease of assembly.

Features:

• The robust structure, rigorously tested, ensures both high strength and user-friendliness.
• Requires only 3 hours of print time and utilizes just 78g of filament.
• No supports are needed; the default settings produce a high-strength model, even with PLA.
• The mesh-like main shaft structure enhances strength across various stress vectors while minimizing material consumption.
• The bolt is designed for horizontal printing, sacrificing minimal thread engagement without compromising functionality while significantly increasing strength.
• The angled main shaft design compensates for clamp tilt under load.
• Modular printing allows for aesthetically pleasing color combinations.

Assembly Instructions:

• Insert the main shaft as shown (note the orientation; the angled design requires inward-sloping insertion).
• Insert the rotary handle (consider using paper or glue for enhanced stability if desired).
• Insert the main body correctly and tighten the rear bolts into the slots for use.

*Early in the design phase, this model underwent extensive flexural strength testing resulting in the final triangular facet overlap infill structure. Although this slightly increases filament usage compared to a solid infill of the same volume, it significantly reduces material consumption compared to increasing wall thickness to achieve comparable strength. The main bolt was designed from the outset for horizontal printing. After numerous iterations, the optimal hexagonal and threaded combination was achieved, ensuring high-quality horizontal printing while increasing the contact area within the handle and ultimately enhancing strength. Furthermore, all parts print without requiring supports or special settings. In my tests with PLA, the strength proved quite satisfactory; however, for even greater strength, consider using higher-strength materials or increasing the wall thickness. I hope you enjoy this model!
