A new type of quick-release clamp designed to slide and lock on aluminum t-slot extrusion. With this fully printable model you can build bar clamps of arbitrary size and mount multiple clamps on the same bar.
Minimalist/functional by design: only two parts, both print without supports and assembles like a puzzle.
The cam-lock lever mechanism is designed such that it puts slight pressure in the jaws when it locks and releases quickly with a snap then slides freely, making part switching effortless compared to classic vise/screw models.
The model is fully parametric via Customizer or OpenSCAD: not only you can control the size of the clamps and their features (grooves and such) but also fit these on the most common aluminum extrusions:
