Strap Clamp Corner - Parametric (Fusion 360)

2 Part Strap Clamp.

I wanted to design a corner strap clamp that could be printed without supports but the strap could still be threaded though, so would not part from the strap.

I also wanted to make it for any angle and width of strap.

This corner strap clamp can have an angle between 30 and 170 deg, fit straps between 20 and 60mm

I have included the Fusion 360 file so you can customise and make your own corner strap clamps for any shape projects and size of straps

I have included just one set of stl files these are for a 90 deg clamp, with a width of strap is 25.4 (1 inch)

The 5 parameters are a follows

ANGLE - Angle between the inner faces
STRAP_WIDTH - Width of strap in mm
CLAMP_WIDTH - This is the area that comes into contact with the work piece
STRAP_THICKNESS - Thickness of the strap
DEPTH_RADUS - Distance the strap is from the work piece and the radius the strap takes around the corners (increase for wider straps)

To change the parameters in Fusion 360 click on Modify and then Select "Change Parameters"

The Fusion models once exported as mesh files (Make sure "one file per body" is selected) one of them need to be turned over so the top surface is on the platform before printing.

Once printed the two parts need to be glued together. I used super glue and the clamps held together really well. The lugs and sockets may be a tight fit, so you will require a clamp to hold them together whist the glue sets.

Thanks
