Lamp Clamp

thingiverse

I purchased a drill press but it did not have a work lamp. I found a nice inexpensive (less than $20) LED lamp that had a spring clamp for mounting. But, my drill press didn't have any place on which to attach the lamp. I designed this simple, two-part mounting bracket to clamp around the riser shaft of the drill press that provides a convenient flange on which to attach the lamp. I used standard 10-24 machine screws and nuts that I had available to attach the two halves to one another on the drill press. It's really quite mundane and ordinary, but it was useful to me, so I thought I'd share it. I used TinkerCAD to create the STL and Cura to slice it. Then I printed it with my Ender 3 S1 Pro - all with pretty "standard" settings with one notable exception; I always use a raft because whenever I don't I end up with a failed print!. I as I'm pretty new to 3D printing and this is my very first Thing, so be kind in your suggestions and critiques.
