Clamp for 8mm Rods

thingiverse

I designed those clamps to mount a newspaper basket ("Blomus 68477 Wires Newspaper Collector") consisting of 8mm chrome-plated rods to an old chopping board with wheels. I wasn't reading the newspaper on paper anymore and the chopping board would have gone to the trash anyhow. Now I up-cycled the objects into a basket on steroids err... wheels, to be used in the apartment or in the workshop. Instructions Print the clamps lying on their sides as shown in one of the pictures, otherwise you may break the clamp horizontally when attaching the rod (see the other pictures). Don't apply too much torque to the countersunk screws or the clamp might break there!
