C-Clamp with big Bolt
3D
The original screw for the c-clamp 40 was very tight on the thread and needed a lot of grinding to get it in. Due to the thickness of the screw, I thought the fixation was weak. A larger screw and thread set provides better distribution of force over a larger area, improving the pressure applied and also the area of contact with the supporting object.
I tried to make the project as similar as possible to the initial version.
I kept the original print guidelines and settings suggested by Ryan Huang. However, more supports will be needed for the c-clamp body, as a large part of the body will not have contact with the printing table. My suggestion is to print the screw and cap without supports. Therefore, they must be printed separately from the body.
