Printable OpenBeam 8mm Shaft Clamp

thingiverse

This is a clamp to hold 8mm smooth rod in position on an OpenBeam frame. Instructions It's a very simple part. It should be printed with solid infill. Chances are your standard settings will do this anyway. The example in the photos is printed at 0.25mm layer height. When it's finished snip out the thin bridge at the top of the clamp. It's just there to help the first layer stick well. You might need to run an 8mm drill through the hole if the rod is too tight. Insert the smooth rod into the 8mm hole and then bolt down to the OpenBeam with M3x8mm screws. For best clamping you should have a washer under the bolt head.
