NASA CHAMP "S'Clamp"

grabcad

"S" as symmetrical, only one component printed twice. Although there are four elastic engagement elements is not easy to predict the clamping force transmitted by them. I then added another elastic element already mentioned in my previous model: NASA CHAMP Snap clamp They are a series of opposite blades that have a slight interference with the handrail so that flexing exert a compression on the rounded part to generate an anti axial sliding effect similarly present in the natural elements such as fish bones, the ears of wheat etc that flow in only one direction. Probably the resolution of the printer will not be able to solve the fineness of the details of the slats, but is not important, the final roughness will have a good anti-slip effect. Because of all these elements related to the elasticity of the material would be needed various print tests to calibrate the effect. The STL files are zipped in the appropriate folder.
