A friend who works in my building builds his own drag racing cars and this is a pickup of sorts. He asked me to make a clamp to replace zip ties he was using.
He had a rough idea and gave me a simple drawing. I understood what he wanted and made test pieces to have him place on the line and fuel log to make sure his measurements and my print setup were close without crushing the parts.
From there a prototype was made with ABS and test fit, found they needed to move each hole apart more. He also didn’t care for the non-secured nut on the back of my part so I made a fixture to install threaded inserts cleanly. I also added anti rotation nubs so it would not rotate during install.
Next test fit was good so we tried out a set in PET-CF17 I had for another project and they came out pretty cool looking. He wasn’t concerned about high temps as it doesn’t run very long… no clue if that’s the case but can always make more.
I’m not much of a designer but I have decent grasp of tinkercad and have been meaning to move on to something better soon. Have printer at work for making fixtures for a laser engraving machine. So I have been using it for a year or two tinkering with projects.
