Description
So this is a remix of the bottom half of the rest from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5204388 . I printed the top part exactly the same. I used PETG @20% I modified this bottom connector part to fit my Klutch 7x12 lathe. It may work with other brand ways similar to this (drop me a message if it does) I used a 10-32 2.5" screw for the bottom plate tightener. You could drill it out a little and use M6x60 I did not print that part (but you could) - instead used a piece of scrap 1/8" steel threaded and a small spring. I painted part of it white so its easier to see in the photo. I made it a little less wide so I can fit this in the middle of a part. With the spring pressure you can use the screw head to rotate it. Also recommend staking the end so you cant completely unscrew it.
