The file 'Clip On Paper Holder 3D Printer Model' is (stl,scad) file type, size is 657.8KB.
The latest Version 5 added... this now has improved paper location.... shorter in height and additional new stand is provided.V5
This easy to print paper holder can hold A4 and A3 paper in landscape or portrait.
It can be placed directly onto the desk or it can be clipped on to your laptop / tablet when desk space is limited.
It can be used for many applications such as holding
Engineering drawings / design
Music script
Recipes in the kitchen
Art work
Display units
Menus
Data input / reports
....etc
Simply clip the paper first then slide onto your laptop / tablet the spring action will automatically grip the paper more firmly. To remove slide off and unclip.
I have included 3 different sizes depending on the thickness of your laptop up to 12mm thick (1/2 inch)
Also included is the OpenScad file so you can customise your own.
The stand is optional but gives more stability for table top use, a must for A3 size paper
The stand is not required for attaching to laptop.

Customise you own Instructions.................................
Download OpenScad from http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html
Run the attached file....... Paper_holder.scad
Change parameters to suit your application
Press F5 Please wait until it compiles the model
Press F6 to render then save STL file for printing.
Typical parameters that worked for me
Alter_spring_gap=4;//0 to 7 (7 = the smallest gap about 5mm and 0 = larger gap about 12mm see attached picture)
paper_gap=0.2; Depends how your printer prints small gaps without fusing together
thickness=20; I recommend not less than 20
grip_end_L1=20;
grip_end_L2=17;
grip_radius=13; If this is too big it will not hold the paper in the upright position
