Description

I find tarp clamps pretty handy, so spent some time developing one that can be 3D printed. It prints in 3 pieces (clamp, nut, bolt), and requires a bit of assembly, but early tests show it working quite well. It can be scaled up or down - I have tried 125%, 100%, 93% and 75% sizes successfully - not sure what the limits are, so let me know!
The clamp has a horizontal opening that can print without supports, but I included some designed in supports for a cleaner print result. Also, if the bolt is not printed horizontally, it will shear pretty easily right at the head. There are files for the clamp (with and without designed in supports), bolt, nut and all three parts together with Bambu Studio slicing info. The slicing file has the bolt horizontal, with manual tree supports under the bolt body and treads only. I have successfully printed in PETG and ASA.
