Summary

This is a remix of ronisandler1's original design of a rubberbad clamp.

The original rubberband clamps were the best ones i could find on multiple platforms. When printing them I had some ideas of improvements and the result is this remix.

Modifications to the original design (see pictures):

  • I inreased the size of the cap stoppers and relocated them slightly as they didn't work well for me in the original design
  • I added a pattern to the handles for more grip.
  • I redesigned new caps that are a bit stronger than the original ones and fit tighter to the handles. I also used another pattern at the clamping surface.
  • As I had troubles with bed adhesion when printing the caps, I also included the stl file "Caps_CustomBrim_0p2" that includes a pre designed brim that is easily removeable. It has a thicknes of 0.2mm, so it is only one layer. You shouldn't need it if your printer is better tuned than mine or if you are printing the clamps in a larger scale ("Cap.stl" doesn't include the Brim).

As in the orginal design, also this remix is easily scaleable. I already tried 100%, 125% and 150% and they all work fine. Let me know if you try other sizes.

I don't want to admit how many iterations these modifications took me to get them just right, but it was a fun process and the original clamps were already really good.

Please share your makes!
