Corner Clamps Set

prusaprinters

<p>Although the summary says “Quick and easy picture framing” these clamps can be used for any right angle cornered woodworking job. &nbsp;</p><p>Cut the mitres (or butt joints), apply the glue and place the clamps at the corners. &nbsp;Tighten the string and leave to set.</p><p>I used something similar to these in the 1980's when I worked as a picture framer at a photographers' studio but I've never seen them marketed since. &nbsp;Of course you can pay serious money for fancy ones but these are Cheap'n'cheerful and work every time.</p><p>All you need (aside from the printed parts, of course) is a length of ordinary string. &nbsp;I wax my string, running it over a candle to grease it for a smoother running action but you don't even have to do this.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Print with PLA or PTEG (etc) through a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.15mm layer height, 15% infill - no supports or brim. &nbsp;No clean up.</p><p>If you print the blocks on their sides (for speed) you may find a lot of drooping on the bridging layers. &nbsp;Printed on their sides (as these files are oriented) the whole set prints in about 2h34m.</p><p>Feed the string through the blocks and tie to the end-hole of the ‘griplock’ piece and you're good to go.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regards, Paul.</p>
