Description

This is a quick design I made to solve a problem I kept having.

I often use pressed in nuts for parts where friction holds nuts in place. I also sometimes press bearings into parts.

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,

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.

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.

The clamp in question is about 90 mm front to back in the clamp and its just a 4 inch C clamp.

I used 3 zip ties to hold it in place.

The exact clamp I have here is called "Yost Tools 304-Y  4" Malleable Iron C-Clamp", though many clamps seem to be similar dimensions.


No supports needed
 

Note: I made this from scratch and uploaded it to 2 places
