Description
I always wanted a helping hand, even though some are really ship, I never bought one. Then I stumbled on dougc314 thing. But I hadn't any aligator clips, well I decided that this time I would get my extra helping hand!!
Since I already had been fooling with clothpegs in a previous thing, it was rather easy to build that stuff in Blender.

Instructions
You need to download my 2 stl files and print them like they are twice. Support might be needed for the "hoseball-pegstop.stl". I didn't use any and it came out okay. I printed them with ABS with an infill of 40%, layer thickness 0.5, no extra shell.
Then download thingiverse.com/thing:14012 follow dougc314 directives.
I made a modification on the "baseflange" in order to tight directly on a flexible I already had. See "doublebaseflange".
Then download thingiverse.com/thing:5578 follow StefanHH directives.
If you don't like the shape of my clothpegs you can always download the one from thingiverse.com/thing:7680

Hi,
This is a great idea, I nearly started printing dougc314's helping hands the other night but realise I had no crocodile clips. Could you do a design that uses these pegs instead? http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
I prefer those as they dont require a metal spring :)
I have no experience with
editing STL files directly, normally use cad software myself.
Nice pegs! It might be tricky for the printing though. I will look in to that when I get a little bit of free time. Stay tuned.
