Screw Clamp 01

As an design exercise and as an alternative to my things c-clamp 01 - 03 (https://goo.gl/UhVrjq) I've created this screw clamp.

As usual I've attached the Fusion 360 file to make adjustments easier for you. You will also find a factory file with the settings from my Prusa MKS2 and PLA from Das Filament.

During the design phase I used this https://goo.gl/YcnZ7b to test various threads, diameter, offset etc. combination to find a good working and printable thread. Perhaps it's a good idea to print this first to test if the combination is suitable for your printer, too. Also it migth a good starting point for your own thread tests.

Update 2017/09/04: Link to thread test (https://goo.gl/YcnZ7b) added

Side note: I'm new to 3D printing and CAD and so I've to learn everything. I believe that making things on your own from the very first step is harder but finally you will get things done. Because of that I try not to download lot of things but create them from scratch. Even if they already exists. By sharing those things I hope to get feedback that I can improve my skills. So don't be angry if I upload things which already exists here.

Notes

I've used 8 shells, top and bottom layers. Perhaps to much. I don't know.

You might want to add some support below the cut outs if you print it lying on the bed.
