Flex Lock Tool Holder

thingiverse

flexible tool holder that locks in any position. This is a work in progress. This is Version 1. I printed 16 links. It uses bailing wire for center tension. I used 4 #10 machine screws to assemble the 2 halves of the body, and a 5mm socket cap bolt to assemble the lever. I tried carpenters string to begin with but there was too much stretch in the string. The bailing wire seems to work. I plan on trying picture frame braided wire next. Whatever you try, it just needs to be a material that has very little stretch to it. I have supplied the step file for the project so you can make your own adjustments/tool holders, etc.
