Solids for 3D Printing
-
A project from my printer:
These are some clamps to go onto round tubes. There are two sets for two different sizes of tubing. The larger ones were modeled first. Rather make new ones for the smaller tube I just modeled a sort of filler as a separate solid. The original design didn't have the fulcrum (cylinder) but I added it, again as a separate solid. I decided not to merge them so that the clamps are easier to modify if needed.

Always cool to see SU models become useful real world objects. Great job as is your usual.

@tuna1957 thank you sir.

Nice prints. Clever way to trap the hex head too.

@Rich-O-Brien thank you.
The bolts tighten up enough for what these need to do but I probably should have extended the that side so I could complete the hex recess. I expect then I could tighten the knob enough to break the clamp.
