I wanted to print a smaller version of the ratcheting clamp and I thought that the original was too thin to be scaled. Plus I tend to make things a bit overdesigned for long lasting durability and stregnth. Additionally, I wanted to assemble it without using a screw. Too much hassle to go to the hardware store for the right size. So I made a few minor changes.
1. Made it thicker
2. Add a snap-together hinge
3. Separated the two pieces so that it printed in two colors.
Note that my snapping mechanism is hidden within the hinge and is very subtle. This makes it look really clean. It does literally snap into place and stays secure (so far). It is a little hard to see this in my photos, but the post is flush with the bottom of the hole. The snapping is caused by a subtle ring around the post, matched by a ring cavity in the hole. And like the original, no supports or rafts needed, so you can use this one the two parts are connected.
To assemble it is pretty obvious. I put the b
