Poor Man's Arbor Press (Clamp Stand)

prusaprinters

<p>This is a quick design I made to solve a problem I kept having.</p><p>I often use pressed in nuts for parts where friction holds nuts in place. I also sometimes press bearings into parts.</p><p>Some people use hammers, but I find that to be a bit brash with the potential to break the part or yourself. Some people use arbor presses, but I don't really have any other uses for one presently so I cant justify the 100 bucks,</p><p>What I can justify however is this 9 dollar clamp I already had laying around and this 1.50CDN 3d print to hold said clamp so I don't have to awkwardly hold the part, the nut and try to manipulate the clamp handle.</p><p>It has 2 holes for M3 5.4mm flat side to flat side nuts, and holds a clamp with a width on the thin section of 8.5mm ideally though slightly smaller or bigger is probably fine.</p><p>The clamp in question is about 90 mm front to back in the clamp and its just a 4 inch C clamp.</p><p>I used 3 zip ties to hold it in place.</p><p>The exact clamp I have here is called "Yost Tools 304-Y &nbsp;4" Malleable Iron C-Clamp", though many clamps seem to be similar dimensions.</p><p><br>No supports needed<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Note: I made this from scratch and uploaded it to 2 places</p>
