Two part clamp, as you screw the two pieces together a wedge applies pressure to the post to maintain position. After printing, the two pieces have a one time snap together connection. "Jeez, I'm a real space cadet today Bill, I can't seem to find the other half of this gizmo." -said no astronaut ever - 3.12.15 proof of concept video added - working on printable version -3.15.15 updated version optimized for printing -3.16.15 attempted to print "lower3.0" printer failure and lack of resources(Aluminum Mendel .03in nozzle) -Threads looked usable with some light sanding -flexible points were easily flexible -T-slot area ridged -One time snap feature appeared usable -At this time I believe other finalists offer better plastic utilization and more refined designs. Clippy is a viable solution in need of further refinement in order to work for NASA's handrail clamp assembly challenge.
