A bigger version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4761144 drawn from scratch.
I liked the compliant mechanism functionality of that model, but it was way too small for me. So I drew it from scratch in Fusion using tominabox1's model as a reference point. The overrall dimensions are similar but not identical.
The "claw" cutouts that grip the stem might need some filing after printing.
## UPDATE: 30.5.2021:
Made the stem claw cutouts wider, so the stem base sits flush with the holder, improving grip and stability. Enjoy !
## UPDATE: 18.11.2021:
Added another model that has small sacrificial supports on the corners. Print without support, and just snap it off with pliers ! Helps with the problem of corners being curled up during printing.
