3D Printed Clamp Fusion 360 Tutorial

Learn how to design and 3D print a custom clamp in Fusion 360 with this step-by-step tutorial! This 3D printed clamp features 15mm threads and can secure objects up to two inches thick. Ideal for DIY projects, it can be combined with laser cutting for enhanced strength and versatility. This Fusion 360 tutorial covers everything from sketching and extruding to adding constraints, threads, and chamfers to ensure your clamp is optimized for 3D printing. We also modify a design inspired by ‪@slant3d‬ to make it more efficient and easy to print. Check out Slant3D's great 3D printing channel    / @slant3d   In the next video, we'll show you how to add captive nuts to this clamp for even more functionality.
