Prusament PET-G Clamp Optimized

While learning to use Autodesk Generative Design in Fusion 360 I needed a sample part to test the workflow and decided the Prusament PET-G Clamp could use some optimization.

I based the dimensions on the original Prusament PET-G Clamp so I could compare the two for strength and print time. It also means the parts are exchangeable.

Depending on your print settings this C-Clamp prints a bit faster than the original and uses about 20% less material. But more importantly it is capable of exerting much higher clamping force with less deformation.

While I was at it I also redesigned the Screw spindle as the original is a bit uncomfortable and the thread doesn't really print very well. I also added some fillets and chamfers to reduce stress concentrations.

I uploaded normal resolution STL's and also some High Quality ones for the clamp and screw (HQ suffix). These are very large files but contain a little bit more detail.

If you end up printing one please share som pictures!
