Pinch Clamp (for re-sealing headlights, or similar tasks)

thingiverse

I designed this clamp because I was re-assembling some headlights and needed something to apply pressure specifically where the clips hold the glass to the rest of the headlight housing (since normal clamps weren't cutting it. These worked perfect and proved to be extremely strong when printed in the right direction in ABS. They may be useful for other applications but if you've disassembled a headlight assembly in order to black out the housing, perform a retrofit or something else I highly recommend printing out a few of these to help with re-assembly. Print Settings Notes: You'll need to print out 2 of these per clamp, I recommend printing in the default orientation of the STL file (laying on it's side) as this will give the part the most strength. Post-Printing Hardware: These are designed for a 1/4" diameter bolt, with a MINIMUM 2" length (I'm using a 4.5" length bolt in the photos) You will need 1 bolt, 1 nut and 2 washers per assembly.
