Easy Adjust Bar Clamp M12 threaded rod

This is a clamp created with an M12 threaded bar.

One of the two clamps is quick and easy to adjust, just tilt it slightly and slide it, then it goes back up horizontally and the washer inserted inside hooks onto the threaded bar.

The other clamp is tightened with a handle inside which the M12 joint is housed.

In addition to the 3 pieces to be printed, you need:

• 1 x M12 threaded bar (any length) • 2 x M12 washers (outer diameter 24 mm) • 1 x M12 joint (length 30 mm)

One of the washers must be inserted into the slot of the sliding clamp.

Thev2 version of the clamp adds a knurl to the clamp surface to better hold the piece in place. It also corrects a design error by removing the joined part at the bottom of the flat part of the clamp to better hold the pieces at 90 °.

I created a new version with foots and a bigger handle. https://www.printables.com/model/616021-easy-adjust-sliding-bar-clamp-m12-threaded-rod

Notes

Print with 0.2 resolution, 45% infill, with a hexagon pattern.

Supports are not necessary, but I recommend them.

To keep the pieces well attached to the mat, I recommend using a brim.

To get the maximum strength from the clamps, I recommend printing with the piece on the side and lying on the side inclined at 45 degrees, as shown in the photo.
