Irwin Clamp Desk Press

For the past year, I have been using these Irwin clamps to hold two things together that I needed to glue. Almost always, they are these ¼-20 screws and a 3D printed part. I would always just lay the clamp down on the desk, but I don't have a lot of space and it always took up too much of it. So I designed this base that the clamp could be inserted into and screwed in, so the clamp could sit up straight and stand upright on it's own. If you want to see a few of the short videos I made about the design process, see here. THERE ARE TWO VARIATIONS OF THIS MODEL, the Modular and Standard. Which one is best for you? The original design, “modular base”, had a dovetail slot in the top, so if you wanted to design your own platform or jig to make whatever you were gluing easier to work with, you could. I left a spot on the side for a heat insert, so you could slide in different attachments and screw them into place. Please be advised that I designed this, but never ended up printing it
