Basic Clamp for M5 bolt by letsburn00 Nov 8, 2009

Description

A very basic clamp block, can be used either on it's own, or with two printed off to form each side. I originally made this to tighten down my ABS-wood bed onto my reprap bed, but use it for whatever.

Think I figured it out, the STL contains the default Blender cube located at 0,0,0 whilst the actual object is offset quite a bit to the bottom right. Removing the cube and centring the object at 0,0,0 would probably fix the automatic rendering.

The automatic rendering looks like a classic case of too-small objects coming out as basically invisible.

Remember, to Thingiverse, Skeinforge, and most other systems, a Blender Unit is one *milimeter*. I'm guessing your design is being interpreted as about the size of a dust mote. If you scale it up to that standard, the auto-renderer should give a pretty good picture.

Just rendered it in Blender to give you a better idea of what the object looks like as the automatic rendering didn't do a great job.

Instructions

Simply pass a bolt through the M5 hole, add a nut on the other side and tighten the bolt.

The Bits from bytes v2.0.1 (and probably later versions but I have 2.0.1) has a bunch of m5 holes bored along the sides, I use one of these to keep my abs bed from popping up( which it tends to do once it gets heated)
