About this 3D model

This 0-2"/50mm rubber-band powered spring clamp is similar to this clamp , but it prints flat for much greater strength. The two sides print as separate pieces that are held together by your rubber bands. This model scales nicely: shown are prints at 100%, 75% and 50%. Just snap the clamping pads into place, hold the 2 sides together, and add as many rubber bands as you like to get the desired clamping force. Printing I suggest printing in PLA with 0.2mm layers, 3 perimeter lines and 15% infill should make them sufficiently stiff. If you decide to scale down the right an left sides, yo may need to scale the pads down to just a hair smaller to get a good snap fit. e.g.: if you scale the sides to 50%, you may need to print the pads at 49.5% (or so).
