I have made many third hand prototypes, which I use for soldering and sell for money. Here are some miscellaneous previous designs I have designed. I am sure they 3D print fine, but I actually used a CNC router and a 1/2-20 tap with a drill to make this. I suggest you do the same, get yourself a 1/2-20 tap and drill those holes out. You can find the tentacles needed to complete the base on EBay under Flexible Plastic Coolant Tube, for about $1 per tube, and about 10 cents for an alligator clip. I used Starboard, which is so light that I had to clamp down the base, but that is more effective, because then it can't move unless you want it to. Enjoy!
